I use Facebook regularly.
Facebook usage can be helpful to entrepreneurship in that it can make it easier to understand people outside of Silicon Valley. I have nontechnical Facebook friends from high school, college, and my local area and by following their lives on Facebook I can regularly put myself into different peoples' mindsets to think about how they use technology, what things are problems to them, how they perceive things, etc.
It is also great if you are involved in a hobby where Facebook usage is high such as dancing argentine tango in the Bay Area. All of the instructors are on Facebook, lots of dancers friend each other, and event listings and photos can be found there.

That's part of the value for me, getting small reminders that people exist outside of my urban liberal bubble, and that while I might not agree with those people on a whole host of things, I can at least respect them and their perspective.
