We had already asked Facebook for public access to profile information. Furthermore, Facebook’s move confirms that Facebook agrees with us that people information will remain highly distributed over the WWW in the future, and thus people will start their searches for people on a search engine. Once you accept this, Facebook benefits from a people search engine as much as every other social network: by having more people find its members’ profiles. Users will be happy to know that Whozat? already provides Facebook results for every Whozat? search for someone with a Facebook profile.
