I have been told by so many of my friends to join facebook because you will meet so many people from your past. Some people from my past I would rather not talk to again (for example, ex boyfriends) My question is....when you sign up does facebook automatically add everyone on ur hotmail list?? Can you make your profile only visible to the people you choose?? I just dont want to be mean to the people i choose not to talk to by saying no to their friend request. Can anyone tell me details as a facebook user?? Thanks!!

Hi there, in response to your question, No...once you sign up you choose which friends on your hotmail list you want them to contact which means not everyone will be invited..I had worried about this one myself before joining a while back. You're safe as long as you keep your profile private except to friends on your list :-)

No Facebook does not automatically add all your contacts - you can choose which ones you would like to send a request to and which ones you prefer not to. You can also choose how much of your information you want the public to see. For myself I am very cautious and only show very little personal information about myself (I also have people I would rather not find me on Facebook). If they do find you though you can always just ignore their friendship request and they will still only be able to see your limited profile (which can contain as much or as little information about you as you desire).

I joined facebook to meet my friends from school , but so far after 2 months , people I don't know are the ones messaging me and requesting to be friends , All of them are much younger and basically looking for online dating or ... even though I state very clearly I am happily married.

When you join your profile is public. Anyone can see it. You can, however, reject anyone who wants to be your frined on the website and ignore them. If someone is harassing you, talk to the support staff. From what I hear, they are pretty helpful.
