I got hounded into it a couple of months ago.

I only really use it for sorting stuff out with mates through the pm thing it has.

I ignore:
Any groups
Any stupid games
Any X has sent you a Y
I always check out the person who sends friend requests (hot ot not)

that's about it really.

As little personal information as possible IMHO. Just the bare minimum it lets you get away with.

Privacy settings, dont forget to check them, IIRC by default it turns everything on so its visable to everybody even people you are not friends with, so be careful with that. See my point above, if its not on there, then facebook cant change the settings behind your back and make perosnal information visable to those people that you dont want it to be visable to.

The only thing to watch out for really is the external links that people post.....

"I tagged you in this video, click here"

"Couple making out, caught on Google Maps"
