I've been on there for months, but didn't find many people I knew that used it. Now it seems to be ramping-up fast. One thing I like about Facebook (for example in contrast to LinkedIn) is the transcript/stream that shows activity of your friends, so there's always a stream of news. This is very engaging. The fact that it links in other sources like Jaiku and Twitter is also a plus, saves having to visit other portals. But the apps ... yes, they've really hit on something there. I've noticed that when friends install an app (which you see in the transcript), I often go and see what the app is about, and try it myself. This is a fantastic way to virally promote an app, which in turn might integrate other services and social networks (like Skype), and give more paths for finding friends and colleagues to link up to.
