  I hear that to many people facebook has become more or less just a way
to distribute party invites to acquaintances. (If you want to publish your
life to the world, that's what twitter is for.)

We (by which I mean me and my dance collegues) use it to discuss which 
dances we're going to, share photos from said dances, and other general 
news.

I still haven't figured out what Twitter is actually for. My dad asked 
me the other day, so I explained to him:

   "You know how on Facebook you can set your current status to be a 
short snippet of text?"
   "Yeah?"
   "THAT'S ALL TWITTER DOES!"
   "...why? That sounds pointless."
   "I KNOW!"

  Competition is not pointless. It entices betterment and progress.

Me too.  I equally don't see the point of Google + except as a way for Google to
readily know who are my friends, family and coworkers.  Seemingly it's not
enough that I should classify links for them...

Hmmm, I don't see those on Facebook or Google+....Oh, wait, because I use 
one of those intractably-difficult-to-implement ad blockers that couldn't 
possibly solve the impossible problem of blocking ads. ;)

Thought you should've gotten one from me - the system seems to indicate 
that invitations are sent out to people you add to circles who are not in 
the system.

Odd that it didn't.

Sure. But given the choice between (say) a document editor that can 
handle bold and italic text, verses Microsoft Word 2010... it's not much 
of a competition, is it?
