It is amazing the number of useful things I find.

Even if you are on someone's friend list, they can still post things only to specific groups.
I have my friends grouped by where I know them from, or common interests. Mainly they fall into four groups - people who race close bodied cars(NASCAR, ALMS, etc), people who race open wheel, or karts, people I know outside of racing, and people I only know online.
Not everyone would care about a post I make related to racing, so often, motor sport related posts I make are only seen by those in motor sport. Getting on my friend's list as an employer, would only get you part of what I post.
Even then, I do filter most of what I post, even if only one person has permission to see it. Once on the net, anyone that sees it can copy it, and spread it around. Never put anything online you wouldn't want the world to see, even if post it to a limited audience, it can still find its way out there.
My employer's network monitor track's FB logins, if I log in on a work computer, they can log into my account using the network monitor software if they wanted to. As per the above, there isn't anything on my FB that has to be secret, so its not an issue for me.
People with constant emotional explosions with their FB status, generally do not make good employees.
