I absolutely disagree.
I joined facebook within the last 2 weeks. I have added at least 75 new networking contacts. It's such a different atmosphere than MySpace. I request an add friend and have not been rejected yet! From these 75 new "friends" I have gained not only friendships, networking contacts...but also some business deals... ($500ish in the last week)
I find people with common interests....send them an message or write on their wall. I ask them what they do...visit their websites and am genuinely interested. When they ask about me...I tell them and frequently a business transaction is just around the corner.
