I use http://vk.com
as for me this one better than facebook (despite the fact that this idea was stolen from the Facebook). It have a lot of free music, video and other nice stuff)
If I had other way to contact my friends I surely wouldn't be using facebook, but all my friends use and I want to be in touch with them whenever I need.
all pretty sad. I live in Kiev (a place where everything happens). All think that our commandos asshole and enemies of the people, but to tell the truth - they are just a guys which doing their job and they suffered not less than others :< many of them died but nobody cares
