I joined Facebook for the first time this week, for similar reasons as, and with similar reservations to, you. |

When people upload a photo of you, it performs facial recognition and they can "tag" you as being in the photo. You don't have to upload a photo of yourself (I'm thinking of trying one in sunglasses) and in the privacy settings you're also able to forbid people from tagging you. |

There are quite granular settings to allow anyone but friends to see or post on your timeline - I was quite impressed by how much privacy appears to be available to users. I suspect this allows you more privacy from you family and colleagues than it does from Facebook, though. |
