Because, if you belong to organizing groups and you have a fancy phone, 
voila!, I hook my address book to fb and instantly know their address, 
phone number, IM, etc. very nice.

I can't tell you how many times I've used this feature. Zuckerberg wants 
facebook to be a utility - in the phone company sense of the term. he also 
wants it to be a platform. It becomes so necessary to your life and an 
avenue to everything outside facebook, no one can live without it. If you 
are part of any political, cultural, social organizing FB *is* precisely 
that: utility/platform.
