Why use it if you don't like it?

Many of the articles talk about social capital and the value of social networking. The “Social graph-iti” article relates more to how programs, such as Facebook are social networks. One comment made in this article is that Facebook is going to be the next Google, but I find that untrue for a few reasons. I feel like Facebook is just like having a phone or AIM in a sense, because it is used worldwide and is just another way to communicate and share interests with others. I know it is meant in a way that it is going to be as big as Google, but since it seems to be only used for that one purpose, I don’t believe they are going to have the opportunity to become as successful. I also find it interesting that MySpace is used a lot more than Facebook. I know many people have MySpace pages, but I never hear of people using it. People are always talking about “facebook-ing” someone rather than messaging or finding someone on MySpace. At the same time, people talk about how annoying Facebook has become with the Mini Feed and the Applications, however they are being used more and more often. Why is this? Why does everyone talk about something they don’t enjoy, yet use it even more?
