That's more or less what I use it for.  Some of the stuff my friends post is funny.

That's about it though.

I appreciate it when folks post really good recipes and stuff (hint, hint, Camel....).

This used to be a great thing about facebook 2 years ago... but now to find the one good thing that camel might post... one has to wade thru 1000 posts like the ones Sox rule mentioned.
