Here's an interesting post at freedomtodiffer.com which talks about Facebook now being included in the 2008 Collins English Dictionary. While it's not surprising to see it make the dictionary, it not only made it as a noun, but as with Google, it's also considered a verb as well.
In another fun connection, the words "poke" and "pimp" have expanded their definitions as they relate to Facebook also, with "pimp" now meaning to spice up your page to make it look even better, and "poke" is a way of getting someone's attention.
As far as the term "Facebook" itself, the noun is defined as "a popular social networking website”, while its use as a verb means “to search for (a person’s profile) on the Facebook website."
