This is just my experience but the reason I don't use facebook is that the novelty has worn off. After seen status update after status update in my timeline I could care less about, I realize why I don't socialize with my old coworkers and people from high school. We have nothing in common, just like we had nothing in common back then. If facebook wants to continue to grow they have a very tough task ahead. They're going to have to redefine the user experience for people like me who have been on the site for a while, yet retain enough of that user experience to attract new users. I really think they missed the boat letting Linkedin IPO before them. The long slow slide to irrelevancy has begun and that doesn't look good on your S-1.
have you tried explaining to your coworkers, family or casual friends that you don't like them enough to add them on facebook? there's a signifigant peer pressure barrier to not friending people.

Why not just add people who you want to associate with, and not people aren't significant in your life any longer?
