I just started using facebook, and so far its only value to me is in being a point of contact with people I don't want to share my livejournal with...

And I think the interface is clunky and ugly. That may be partly because I'm not used to it, but I don't know that I'll bother using it enough to *get* used to it.

Like with google, I think it's a question of what your purpose is, and what features you value - for you, it does sound like facebook may provide more value.
