Unfortunately Kent is right - as much as I don't enjoy FB, it's where the people are. Just read an article on how twitter isn't cool enough for Gen Y ("Gen Me!"); "FB is all I need! And look, phonecam vid of me dancing!".
With Facebook Connect, perhaps its enduring value will be as an identity system for other applications. Which would make FB suck less.
Right now, I mostly transmit to FB (via Ping.fm) from SMS or email, and it goes to FB from there. I check in a couple times a week and only approve friend requests from people I actually know. Just one of my chores...

I might cave, but I'm trying really hard to be "present" in every room I enter... and I can barely do that now with a blog and twitter.

I like that. "Being present in every room I enter."
