I would guess most of us "have" Facebook.

I've noticed one recurring problem with Facebook: every single person I might have shared oxygen with keeps trying to add me as a friend. I only signed up because my friends kept telling me to, now they keep complaining I'm never on.

BAH Facebook. It was decent when you could only sign up with a valid college email address.

I think it's more the "bored" effect. Most peer groups go through a variety of phases with.. well everything. First there's the initial enthusiasm and then the exciting time where everybody's on and communicating, then the luster starts fading and it's just "oh... another tagged picture. woopie"

Still, I don't see myself joining another social network... well ever. I have joined twitter, but that's a different beast. When it comes to things like events, photo-sharing, etc it's going to be Facebook for a very long time to come. I hope so anyway, just out of laziness.
