I don't bother with the status updates. I don't look at peoples profiles. I put the bare minimum info on there that I could, I locked down all of the privacy settings. I purposefully made my profile difficult to find.

I friend my friends on Facebook and do very little else with it. The only reason I have an account is so to make it easier for people to include me when they organise events through it.

Works for me.

I do the same, the only reason I keep the account is so people can include me in events organised via Facebook.

The only other time I go on it is when I get an email notification saying someone has sent me a message.

I don't bother with status updates or reading what other people write. If its interesting they will tell me when I see them. Unsurprisingly when I do see them I don't hear about 90% of the crap they put on Facebook.
