I'm using Facebook the same way. Mostly just to connect to old school friends. I don't have time to play around with all those games and other invitations friends send me.
Funny story: I turned one of my coworkers on to Facebook. Let's call him "Jones". He's on there for a couple of months, reconnects with people he used to go to school with 25+ years ago, etc... when an ex-coworker becomes friends with both Jones and I on Facebook.
The ex-coworker sends me a PM asking me "So when did Jones come out of the closet?" I responded "What?!" Jones is heterosexual and is known to us as a bit of a womanizer. The ex-coworker writes back to me "Check out his profile. It says he's "Interested in Men"!!!".
I see this, hit print screen, and save the image to my computer. I then ask Jones (who sits right next to me), "Sooo is there anything you have to tell me?" Jones looks at me befuddled. I then tell him, "According to your Facebook profile I see that you're interested in men." Jones' facial expression turned to astonishment. Somehow when he registered he accidentally checked "Interested in Men"!!!
He panics for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to correct it. He keeps calling me over to his computer begging me to help him change it. I tell him I won't help him and just watch him panic. Eventually he figures out how to change it.
The funniest part of this story is that now all of his old friends that he reconnected with all think he leads an alternative lifestyle even though he doesn't.
