I have a Facebook account, and I use it every day, but I keep my list of friends to people I know in real life and trust, declining all other invitations. My privacy settings are set to friends or friends of friends at most. I never had any problem with it, and it's a nice way of keeping in touch and getting information about parties/events.
I'm sure it's different with accounts set up for business purposes.

Unless it was a PM, on Facebook there's a small crowd of friends around who read those things, so the reply would be a kind of public statement, different than just replying to one person, cutting out the rest. Just like here on the forum.
