Can you clarify what you mean by that; does it mean advertisers will be able to see how big the network is and view some demographics? Or are you saying it allows advertisers to push the ethical boundaries and try to link impressions to real people via the searchable data? (or something else?)
As far as I read their terms they cant just give advertisers any details about you; even if that info is public.
- patio11 17y agoI mean that Facebook is essentially a display business and that most display businesses derive 70%+ of their traffic from Google searches, but Facebook cannot benefit from this unless they put their information public. Essentially, if your feed is public, then your name, stream, and life is just one big content creation stream for Facebook to show display ads against. Just doing it for names is worth hundreds of millions of dollars -- think of how many there are, how often they are searched, and how little competition there is for most of them. Domain authority alone should mean that Facebook dominates for searches of people who do not maintain their own websites.
- jacquesm 17y agoWhat surprises me is that linked-in actually comes up more than facebook even today when searching for people.
- axod 17y agoHow many people search google for people :/ If I'm trying to find old friends etc, I go straight to facebook and search there.
- gnaritas 17y agoAre you kidding? Facebook search sucks, they don't have monitors/alerts, or any kind of complex searching like Google. Google still owns search and plenty of us still use Google when looking for people because believe it or not, not everyone uses Facebook.
