I signed up years ago and only jump on 2-3 times (Christmas / Birthdays) a year to keep in touch and watch my cousins and their kids grow up in Holland. Otherwise your so called friends in Aus just use it to do the peeping tom of anything you may have on there.
FaceSpace is a joke overall.
As for phones - there not far behind. Once work stops the phone goes in the drawer until I go back to work the next day, next week - it is so freeing like it was when I was a kid.
Luckily my wife is the same, much better things to do in life.
