I tend to have no incriminating pictures/apps so I add everyone who wants to be added except for ex's, and ex's family. I'll won't go out seeking for people though, unless they are important to me. I also added my dogwalker (well, cat sitter lol) as she's a good friend. lol. And I added an old neighbor so I clicked that box too!
Facebook is my safe zone. I allow my RL friends and relatives to friend me there, so they'll generally stay clear of my LJ, where I frolic and speak my mind. Though I do have a few RL friends on LJ.
I made the mistake of friending rl people--including many defense attorneys and online people. I just don't want these worlds to collide, so I shut down facebook.
I keep it for mostly people I know in rl, just a few online people. My hometown is very small, so I get random older people from there that I don't remember or people I'd rather not have, so I reject them - I try to keep it to people I actually like and would enjoy either spending time with or randomly running into.
I have over 700 friends on facebook, but I also regularly go through and delete people. I also take advantage of the filters, so I only have about 200 people on my close friends filter, which I use for a lot of my photo albums.
