Facebook... love it or hate it?

I've been sucked into the world of facebook.com, and I'm not sure I'm a big fan. There are a few things that I find a tad annoying, mainly the newsfeeds that display every boring detail of what your other facebook "friends" are up to.

It's getting tedious wading through all the "David sent Maryanne a rosewater enema" or "Sandra joined the group I Love Miniature Bottles of Liquor" or some other such nonsense. And if that's not enough, it seems that if it's a slow day, the newsfeed will recycle old items, such as "Karen and Senor Douchebag are now friends", when you know damn well that Karen and Senor Douchebag confirmed their facebook friendship 2 weeks ago.

I may not be making any sense, so you'll just have to join facebook and find out for yourselves.

UPDATE (Sept. 5, 2010)
Okay, two years have passed and facebook has really gone to great lengths to make the site less annoying. These days we have the option to create custom filters, so you can choose to only see annoying updates from a select group of friends instead of every single idiot you went to high school with. You can also hide specific people without defriending them, so they'll never know how little you respect or like them. Privacy settings have become less obtuse, although it's still more cumbersome than I'd like.

All in all my FB usage has become a daily (okay, all freaking day long) thing, which is something I didn't see coming.
