That is not the only use for Facebook, although sadly I think a lot of people view it that way.
Social media is a great way to find out about new things which have been vetted by your social network, meaning you're much more likely to enjoy them. It's like a curated stream of Things of Potential Interest that you can peruse at your leisure.
The social interaction side of things can be very positive when you feel like there is an active community around the things you're doing, and hell, there's nothing wrong with getting Internet High Fives when you post a good run time or achievement.
- Theodores 13y agoI think the opposite is true. Girlfriend uses Facebook (I do not). When she says 'got to see this...' I ask if it is on Facebook, and, if so, decline being interrupted to look at whatever it is. As for 'this is really funny!' my response 'is this another Facebook joke?' is how I am able to filter out the lame humour - if it is on Facebook it is rubbish humour, simple as.
