Originally, I used facebook in some weird, dystopian and usually ineffective courtship ritual. Then I used it to keep in touch with distant friends, which is the stated use case, but actually isn't that interesting, but would have been well-served by curating my friends list.
Lately, I moved to San Francisco and started doing stand-up comedy. Facebook is the single best tool for self-promotion and for finding out where good open mics and shows are. Both goals are served by adding randomly every single person I meet, not by curating my list.
