At this point I'm wondering who the fuck is still using Facebook

The ones who never matured from the time they opened their FB account. So, the old who have only backslid, and the exceptionally stupid, who will always act like children.

I'm more wondering why the fuck anyone is still using Facebook.

Unfortunately, old people who have no boundaries and believe it's acceptable to post photos and details of themselves and others on their public account.

If you have older parents or grandparents online, watch out. Even without an account of your own, Facebook knows you.

What other, better options exist for allowing friends and family you are not in daily contact with to keep up with the goings on in your life that you choose to share?

Legitimately I'm wondering how most people are keeping in touch nowadays. What other systems have people moved on to? What manual processes are people using?
