I use social networking sites primarily for, well, networking. Most of the friend requests I get are from friends-of-friends and vague acquaintances. I accept them, if for no other reason that it gives me an "in" with that person. I've actually had some casual contacts become good friends through Facebook, etc.
I don't think its misleading to others. If you were holding this person out to be your BFF, then that would be misleading. Being linked to someone through a social networking site....not so much.
Just my $.02, of course.
Best,
Sabrina
