It's gotten pretty bad now but it wasn't always that way. I think I've had an account for 10? years. It used to be the professional Facebook, so everyone joined. It wasn't as spammy as it was now and I definitely used it to keep in touch with people that I used to work with and to research jobs. I guess they are trying to be the actual Facebook now... I really only check it once every month or two in order to delete invites from recruiters. It's not a social destination, but it seems like they want people to log in every day. Bleah.
I already maintain a personal and a work facebook account (for example to add someone as a facebook app developer on an app you own you have to be friends with them, but I don't want to be "friends" with all my co-workers). There's not much you can do about linked in at this point since it's ubiquitous. I just try to avoid the spammy bits.
