facebook: useful or time-waster?

I'm going to be annoying and not come down on either side of the debate on this one. I think it can be both things.

Useful: keeping up with friends' lives, knowing what's going on, what people are doing, seeing others' photos, etc. It has also become extremely useful for organizing events with friends. Instead of a million emails clogging up your inbox, you can login to facebook and check one wall or message string.

Time-waster: it is incredibly easy to lose track of time while keeping up with friends' lives, finding out what's going on, what people are doing, seeing others' photos, etc. You log on with the intention of messaging one friend when suddenly a whole hour has gone by and you can't account for it.
