I check FB every day - but I'm a somewhat reluctant user of it. Whilst both Google and FB track my personal usage of the web, I actually trust (in loose terms) Google more - mainly because I know they use it for advertising (which I'm fine with), but that others (general public, friends etc) can't see what I do. I have a huge aversion to FB cos I'm never sure what info I have is private. Their 'privacy' measures are a joke when every update they make to FB means I have to double check what my settings are, and test to see what is being published that I'm unaware of. As a result, whilst I still use FB to stay across what my friends are doing, I've stripped out all profile info on my account, any photos that I'm tagged in (by myself or others) become only viewable by my 'personal friends' group, and my privacy settings are set pretty high. I have also found that the frequency that I post status updates has dropped to almost zero. So the more FB tries to make 'frictionless sharing', the more I find I'm moving to other places like Google+ and Twitter - places I feel I have a degree of control.
