This perhaps explains why I don't get it. I have a cell phone, I have IM facilities, and now Twitter, but I have no regular contact with anyone via text or IM (in fact I have disabled IM as no one ever used it and it was just one more thing to start up each day).
I'd probably retire my Facebook account but it does keep me in touch with three or four people who seem to be happier using it than any other means of communication. (Other than that, apart from the LJ crowd and various academic contacts, I think my Facebook mostly serves to say 'yes, am still alive after all these years. Isn't that amazing!' to a number of people who had otherwise dropped off my radar, and had remained fallen off for a reason!)
