In my experience, i tried to join facebook a couple of months ago and:
a) It asked me for a lot of private information. I submit all of them.
b) Then i entered. Facebook suggested me, a list of contacts. All of them are ugly people.
c) And finally, facebook asked me for a real photo. I used a real photo the first time but i think facebook is a bit faulty..
d) The interface is a real mess.
Conclusion: i am seasoned with linkedin, where everybody is a "winner", may be not but they try to do that. In facebook its the opposite, everybody show the worst.
