Why not? Without FB, I wouldn't be able to connect as much with all the people I've met in multiple places around the world. All people that I care about.
I've also met a ton of new people that I otherwise wouldn't have met (e.g. from groups). I connect with the CS community at my school through FB. I connect with people in my class through FB. A lot of discussion happens on FB that I'd otherwise miss or not have the chance to participate in (everyone is extremely busy)
