I use it for a mainstream site since 6 months or so. Here's some things i've come across:

- Setting up only a business account? It is possible, but once you want to interact with other accounts, you have to register as a person too. Just a biz account without what they call an 'admin', is very limited and pretty useless. So you're forced to open a personal account too.
- So had to set up a personal account. Using your real last name is MANDATORY. It has a pretty smart script, which knows if you put in a fake one, you can't register. I needed about 4 tries until i came up with a fake last name that was accepted. Why is a last name mandatory? As much info as necessary to sell and they are very aggresive to get it.
- I moved and have a different IP now. Facebook notices this and now when i put up a new message, i have to fill in a captcha. When i don't want the captcha step anymore, i have to verify my account. The only way I can verify my account is by giving them my cell phone number, i cannot verify the account in any other way. Once again a very aggressive way of getting your cell phone number. So fuck verifying.
- The new timeline thing. When i wanted to delete a post, it was possible a few weeks ago. Now, i cannot delete posts i just made anymore. I can only 'hide' them. It is impossible to delete your posts.

In conclusion, facebook is so aggressive in getting every bit of personal info, it is getting more obvious as time goes on. It's blatant and in your face, yet the sheep keep giving them all their info like sleepers. Horrible website.
