I've been caught by facebook in the past week, but there is
advertising.... and plenty of it just it is done in a relatively
unobtrusive way. Are you running some kind of adblocker? 

I must say that I was quite anti-facebook given how many other now 
defunct social networks I've been a member of in the past but this one 
at least lets me keep in passing contact with a few freinds who live in
different bits of the UK who I wouldn't /normally/ phone/contact and see
what they are up to. Perhaps it helps relieve the guilt complex of not 
keeping in touch with friends? although I must say it has been slightly 
useful so far for me just not so useful for people who I am in contact
with every few days or so but the people who you only think of rarely.
