Sorry but this is an incredibly ignorant statement.

Irrespective of whether you find Facebook (the website) useful, Facebook (the company) is amazing. The technologies they have developed e.g. Hive, HBase, Cassandra, ORC now power the Big Data Analytics movement which is transforming enterprises around the world. And frankly nothing in IT is changing the world for more people across more facets of their life than that. Likewise their work on the maching learning front has been incredibly valuable.

And provided you don't make social media the core of your life then you will find it to be a useful tool.
