For example, the "relationship" status.
And it saves our blushes, a lot, by helping us promoting our "status".
Now, imagine this, your friend James just got hooked up with Betty last week, and facebook did not exist to tell you "James is in a relationship with Betty".
And you are in a bar with James, drinking.
You: You know Betty? She looks like a train wreck with lopsided boobies.
James: Yea, i do. We just got together, approximately a week ago. And her boobies are perfectly well formed.
You: ...
It helps much more when you broke up. With the simple status of "James is single", everyone will know better than to rub it in. They won't go like this;
You: Hey James, where is Betty? I thought you guys were inseparable?
James: Oh, i thought so too. Until she found out last week that she likes girl better.
You: ...
There are, of course, some people who never use facebook. Like you lovely grandma Mary.
Mary: Dearie, where is the sweet young thing that you brought here last time?
James: You mean Betty, Grammy?
Mary: Yes, that sweet girl.
James: Grammy, she decided that she likes girl more.
Mary: I don't understand...
James: She is now a lesbian.
Mary: Oh dear........
