When I was on Facebook, I viewed Facebook friends as less meaningful than 'real' friends. Some people seem to view them as the same, though. And really, I figured out that if I found people annoying in reality I would find them annoying on Facebook, so those people generally have the right idea.
Facebook in general is a mystery to me, I was using it more as a link aggregator, posting links to things I found interesting, but those rarely got any responses.. I suppose Facebook is more for posting things like 'I like potato chips' or 'My wife and I are going to the beach. It will be fun.' I don't think most people use Facebook for anything truly mentally stimulating..
But if you find Facebook fun, sit back and enjoy. It did seem fun to me for a few months..
