Facebook: Crucial or Trivial?

[IdEngager]

Really depends on your lifestyle like Mark said. It's easy enough to ignore trivial updates that people you never really talk to put up. But if you travel a lot like Mark does, it's really the most practical way to keep track of people. Or in my case, I do some traveling myself, and play in a band (having some sort of social media presence is practically a necessity if you play music), and play sports and have old friends from college I occasionally want to contact. It's pretty much like a phone book to me... I don't think you need to spend a bunch of time on there playing games or updating your profile or posting a million status updates (though I do post the occasional absurd thought that comes to my head).
