There is no doubt, it is the best way to keep up with family and friends if you live far away, but is that what it used for by most people?
It seems like it is a way (for some people) to get their 15 minutes of fame. In fact, people have used it to put negative information about employer on the internet, causing rift between family, bullying others and other disgraceful behaviors.
Do you have a Facebook page? I don't have one and don't plan on having one.

Use it an instant messenger when I'm on the computer at another site/country to my wife.
That's about the only real use I have for it ;)
Facebook is like any online business - a product to gain revenue. Whether it be through customer information harvest, encouraging individuals/companies to push games on the FB platform, and of course selling ad space, it's about the revenue.
With any social media, yes some people will self-promote themselves or use it as a sounding board for things probably best left unsaid.

Some peeps put it to good use, but some idiots use it to spew their hatred and do other stupid things like advertise that they are in Cancun on vacation while their address is posted as Kokomo Indiana thus providing a haven for thieves.
Didn't a Georgia teacher just got fired for making disparaging remarks on her facebook page about The FLOTUS after her emotional speech about the Donald's behavior toward women?

Happens all the time. A good place for employers to weed out the undesirables.

I am not sure about the term "the best"
I don't have one. To me it just seems to be a thing for time wasting and distraction.

It can be a good tool, if used in the right way.

You need to be aware and use Social Media responsibly in the 21st century. It is the latest tool/medium of communication, news, marketing etc. Refusing to do so will put you at a disadvantage, companies are big on its usage.
Technology always have its good and bad.
I personally scroll through facebook feed to watch the funny videos and funny captions that people put up. I use to chat on it a lot first time, when it didn't have all the videos and ads and all that. Nowadays i hardly chat on any platform.
