Samre reason Twitter lets you do this:
http://twitter.com/#search?q=rectal%20surgery http://twitter.com/#search?q=rectal%20surgery
(there is a difference, I guess, in that on Twitter it is "common knowledge" that everything is public by default - whereas on Facebook it is reasonable for an individual to realise how public their data might be on their current privacy settings)
- sajid 17y agoAt the very least, FB should make a distinction between 'Everyone' and 'Public'. Where the former means everyone on Facebook and the latter means everyone on the internet.
- ErrantX 17y agoI guess, but that point applies to just about every other API as well (including Twitters)
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoIn practice, is there really a difference? Facebook has hundreds of millions of users and it's fast and free to sign up, so I'm not sure I see the distinction, other than maybe search engines...
