I adopted early and abandoned early as well.

I honestly didn't mind it per se, it was just a ghost town. I may go back to it someday if there is content I like, combined with a social graph that respects my distaste for knowing about every meaningless detail of every family/friend/acquaintance's daily life.

I think that the problem is that the measure of a social network's success is the amount of 'chatter' on it. It is this chatter that I dislike, as it is mostly irrelevant, not interesting, and time wasting. I guess I don't like successful social networks by definition...
