Yeah the way Facebook works Shawnee is depending on how private one makes their profile determines how accessible it is. You can adjust this in the Privacy Settings from the Settings drop-down button at the top. More often than not, people will set their page to only be viewable by those who are "friends" with them. This is established by sending a "friend request" to the person which they then choose to approve or deny. Facebook also works on a "Network" system where you exist within a particular Network or two which is just about anything these days from a school, to a larger company, to a city. You can set your profile to be viewable by everyone within your Network(s) or not, up to you. Friends of Friends cannot see each other's pages unless they are in the same network or are Friends with each other. How open or closed your profile is and what information you make available is entirely up to you. That said, I would lean more towards less info than more due to the somewhat shady status of what rights Facebook retains to info put on its servers for future use as well as how long said info stays on their servers.

Example: a few months ago I had issue slogging into my account, their customer service sucks hairy ass so it took weeks to actually get the problem solved. However when they "fixed" it initially, I was sent to an old profile I had from my freshman year in 2004 with all the old info from that page still alive and well even though I had merged that account with my current one at my current school and had since long replaced or removed that information from my profile. Apparently, Facebook's servers held onto all of that from 4 YEARS ago, which makes me nervous about how long they retain supposedly deleted information, which coupled with what rights they reserve to use of your info leads me to believe that the less info you give Facebook the better.
