I'm on Facebook, but really only to spy on my kids (heh) and keep up with my family who are scattered across the globe and post photos there. A colleague asked the other day if they could friend me on FB but I declined on the grounds that I don't want to blur the lines between work and private life. I don't actually know anyone who uses FB for professional reasons but I suppose it has viral marketing potential.
A potentially worrying aspect of FB is that if your friends use applications they can put your own security at risk, even if you don't use any apps yourself. There's an article about it at the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/7375772.stm .
So you'll have worked out by now that I voted "nay", but don't let that stop you! :)
