#2Stopped using facebook (and orkut) back in late 2007/early 2008. Never looked back and am much happier for it. However, I've taken some flak from friends for not being visible.

Quite the early adopter (in two ways).
Do you think you miss out on any elements of "real life" because you aren't on it?

#4Shouldn't there be a vanilla "I hate it" option? Why must the Facebook-haters of the world have the opinion that it is a necessary evil foisted upon them? :)

#5I rarely use it unless someone from my family posts a message and I get an email about it. Other than that it's all noise from "friends" from high school and college I really don't care about and I don't want to take the time to put people into categories.

Either you hate it but use it anyway ("I hate it, but it is a necessary evil."), or you hate it and don't use it ("I don't have an account."). What other option did you want?

Not really. I have a close-knit group of friends that I keep up with via email or phone. Same with family. Its somewhat amusing to see all the negative news about social-networks and realize it does not affect me (directly anyways). The big annoyance is when I see sites/services that require a FB/twitter login.

#8None of the above. What I feel is a sense of deep personal sadness.
Most of my friends on FB are from college (when FB first launched), and most of them still live on the East Coast. Since I moved to SV, I have not added many new friends on FB (mostly because most SV-type people are not prone to use it that much).
So, when I launch my FB news feed, I am bombarded by news and stories and pictures from friends of old that I haven't kept up with, and I start to feel sadness and regret. I usually last about two minutes before I close the tab. I visit maybe once a week. =/

I guessed it would. I wanted to confirm.
That sentiment occurs every time I press ctrl+t, type face, and press enter.
Edit: typo.
