Facebook?

[randomness]

So, I have this Facebook account that I don't really use much, except when friends contact me through it. But it seems like a useful tool, and lots of people (including gilana, whose post inspired this one) seem to like it. I just don't seem to have found the particular foldy bit of the Swiss Army knife that is particularly compelling for me. I'm looking for it, though and now I'm asking for help.

If you use it, what do you use it for? What bits do you like about it?

Their main draw indeed seems to be market penetration.

There are a number of things I seriously don't like about them, but I won't rant about those.

I haven't looked closely, but the ability to build an application platform on top of the social networking aspect is potentially very powerful; it could allow one to combine music pref servers like pandora, event db systems like going.com (which now has a facebook app; not sure how powerful it is), and other apps in a structured fashion.
