I'm towards the opposite end of the spectrum. The only people on my Facebook friends list are those I know in person (if I don't know them, I don't approve the request), and the only people who can find me on a search are friends-of-friends. Yes this means that some people I might want to friend won't be able to find me, but that's the price for controlling exactly who is looking at my personal stuff.
Fair enough - I see two valid and safe ways of using FB. Relatively closed and personal (your way) or very open and nothing that I consider too personal (my way).
The main thing that attracts me personally to Facebook is the interaction that I have with all kinds of people, without having to worry about whether I know or trust them, or whether they're a cleverly faked account. I'm interacting with sustainability and development organizations and permaculture practitioners. I can understand the other way of using it, though.
