For me, it's a way to keep in touch with far flung family. After a couple of deaths in our family this year, Facebook has allowed me to keep in closer contact with cousins, aunts and uncles - all of whom live a significant distance from me.

I'm also a pretty social person. And at some level, I guess it intrigues me to see what my "friends" and family are up to...

And I wouldn't say it's sole an "egocentric" crowd. Like I said - this has let me rebuild relationships I would not have any other way...
