I signed once, I checked the settings and had a quick glance but didn't add people. After that I canceled my account and whit recent developments I think I will never again make a FB account.
If something like XMPP was made for social networking it would be awesome and if data portability was added it would be even better.

Lots of independent social networks that are compatible with each other so that you only have to be a member of one but can still interact with everyone you wish to and can easily switch to another network.

This open source project might be (or not) a good start.
I'd go win might not. Last time I checked elgg does not scale well and the code is really REALLY awful as in not optimized and not conducive to customization. It is kind of a toy IMO
