Until there's a fully public timeline and full search capability like twitter, this news is mediocre at best.
The problem is, Facebook can probably never do this. Most people have their profiles quarantined off. If for some reason facebook ever over-rode those settings and made their stuff public, a true public outcry would occur.
If facebook somehow DOES open full search capability like twitter search/open public timeline, then wow, we're in for something entirely new. The data there and possibilities make me feel like a kid in a candy store.
- jonknee 18y agoIt would be easy enough to add a "make public" checkbox. And instead of just having add as friend, add a "follow" button. the hard part is getting 200m users, they already did that. The really part part is making money and well that's still TBA.
- diN0bot 18y agoi'm curious why public streams and search are so cool.
