I've quit it for stretches. But here's the thing, we often live in really very remote locations. It maintains some simulacra of connection with friends and family. Which I suppose is also it's function for lots of other folks in more densely populated, but socially cocooned urban/suburban lifestyles.

As much as I hate to say it, it's tough to get along without it. It's unfortunately the most reliable means of contact for a lot of people I know.

Where is the more authentic and privacy enhanced fork of Facebook that I can talk my friends/colleagues into?

Diaspora is supposed to be good.

I use IRC to keep in touch with my long-distance friends.

I'm on Diaspora. It seems to be a hard sell to get other folks I know on board.
