Facebook opens up for public search (The Facebook Blog)

Link: Facebook | The Facebook Blog.. This is significant - open systems eventually but pretty much always win. They are start to go down this route.

"Starting today, we are making limited public search listings available to people who are not logged in to Facebook. We're expanding search so that people can see which of their friends are on Facebook more easily. The public search listing contains less information than someone could find right after signing up anyway, so we're not exposing any new information, and you have complete control over your public search listing...."

So eventually... Facebook becomes a sub-section of the web? The next.. Google... AOL?
