At one point, I was trying to keep up with Facebook - all the updates, applications, etc etc. But work means large swathes of time when I just can't be checking things all the time, and it ended up being stressful for no particular benefit.
Now, I do little or nothing with all of the 'applications'; I rarely update my status; and I'm patchy at checking other people's updates. So my page isn't much more than a placeholder. But I keep it partly because people occasionally post photos there, and mostly because there are two or three people with whom I've made contact again through FB - people of whom I've thought over the years 'I wonder what happened to X; I suppose I've no way of ever finding out'. And I'm pleased that that's happened.
