Bill Martineau of Martineau Recruiting Technology asks if Facebook really produces real world results for recruiters or is it a waste of time. 
Like Bill, I have been incredibly skeptical about the value of Facebook in recruiting. I have been so skeptical that it wasn't until just a couple days ago that I joined Facebook to find out for myself what value it might add to our work at Bearing Fruit Consulting. For me, the jury is still out but I promise to update my thoughts as I learn and experience more.
A few quick observations so far. While it is seemingly true that I gain valuable insights about a persons background through the site it also appears there is a lot of information I don't need to know from the perspective of recruiting and consulting. Again, I am a newbie and I will hold my thoughts and observations until I become better equipped and better networked to comment fully. In the meantime please check out Bill's comments and feel free to add me as a friend on Facebook if you wish.
