“In a major move, the social networking site said on Wednesday that it intends to make a limited public listing service available to people who are not logged in to Facebook, meaning that non-members will be able to look for friends or acquaintances via a search box on the Facebook home page. Information contained in the listing service will also be accessible via search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN Live.” Reg
have no facebook entries – whew!
You can just untick a couple of boxes if you don’t want to be searchable. And even if you are, they can only see your name and thumbnail picture. Doesn’t really seem like a big deal to me. Sorry 😉
Personally, I am resigned to the fact that there more than enough info out there about me already.
What struck me about it is the impact on FRU (which ITV bought for £120M), makes them look pretty pointless if everyone can contact old friends through Facebook.
Ah. Yes 🙂 FRU may have come up with a good idea, but it is/was a crap website.
It wasn’t their idea anyway, alumni.net was around for years before, FRU just got lucky being featured on the radio at th right time.
