Facebook is the annoying social website du jour.  MySpace was 
yesterday's.  Works with any modern browser.  You can use their IM 
system via their web site or with apps such as Adium.  I've found 
it's quite nice for getting in touch with / finding old classmates 
and AWOL relatives.

It's reasonably secure, in that you can lock down your profile and 
such so noone can see the details without you giving your permission. 
I've been on there a few months now and haven't seen any spam from 
them.

Note that Facebook, like myspace and ebay and paypal and ... is a 
target for a lot of spoofing emails, so be careful using any emailed 
link that claims to be from 'em.
