Well, it's not that different from LJ. I mean, in a way it's better because in LJ if someone befriends you, they can see... well most of you posts, let's say, if you're not completely Friends Only, and you don't really need to friend them at all. Now, on Facebook, if you don't accept their invitation to befriend them, I don't think they can see you... that is, if you set your profile to private, or whatever it is the equivalent of Friends Only on Facebook.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with Facebook, but it's not something I regularly check as I do with LJ... I usually voluntarily check it once a week or so.
