I've had a Facebook account for years now, and I'm still not sure why, except that it means I get to read other people's Facebook pages. Lately I've been getting a ton of friend requests from people I don't know, maybe fans of my books or just Facebook friends of friends, and I'm never sure how to respond. To the extent that I post personal info on the site, I'd feel uncomfortable opening it to strangers. But the whole reason I started the account was to promote my work, so saying no would seem counter-productive. Should I stop posting personal updates and photos, invite everyone in, and use it strictly as a promotional tool? What do other writers do?
