That is a very good question... I think many people use FaceBook  
because it offers them an easy way to share photo's with friends. And  
because it offers an easy way to send someone a message (replacement  
for e-mail, easier than going to hotmail.com etc). All your contacts  
in one place. Getting back in touch.

I have the feeling that the social-update side of things is less  
important than the above... what's person X doing? Where's the party?  
That's only ingrained in the <20-25 generation for the most part.

The Facebook flow is quite a nice one for all your communication...  
not to many of us who have their own methods (real e-mail client,  
uploading stuff to some webserver), but it is to the user who just has  
access to a computer and a webbrowser.
