Facebook has some ease-of-use advantages to the tools you mentioned, esp. for multimedia sharing as the AC posted above. I can easily see the pictures of my cousins / old college friends / other relatives, and they can see mine -- without following a lot of random Flickr or Photobucket links.
I don't use Twitter, because I don't feel the burning need to microblog. I post occasionally to my blog site, when I have more thoughts to share. A critical mass of my family and friends are on FB, so that I can use it to meet my needs.
And let's not talk about FB as a platform for social gaming... Just step away from the farm implements, and no one gets hurt.
