> Not having a facebook account means that you are sabotaging your own communications effectiveness

Maybe if your social group consists of teenage girls, but who uses Facebook for serious communication these days? What I see from my newsfeed is a mixture of a photo repository, a phone book, and a "I'm passing through town are you available" bit. I don't recall having ever been hindered seriously by having a deactivated account.

EDIT: I should also note that this wasn't true 4-6 years ago, but I was also still in school.
