Fotolia 11341902 XS How to search Facebook status updates (video)

An article posted on TechCrunch last week shared information on a new Facebook search engine called “Openbook”.

Apparently, two developers built the site to demonstration how public our Facebook information really is.

Search gap filled?

In a perfect world, where everyone understood Facebook’s privacy settings and was ok with how Facebook used their public data, this would a very useful tool.

You know how to search blogs, and Twitter, and even forums. Openbook closes a gap in social conversations you’ve been looking to fill.

    Sneaky but eye-opening. Then again, I'm willing to put myself out there on Facebook and other social networks and online sites, so to me, social media privacy can be a bit of an oxymoron no matter how many privacy settings I activate on Facebook.

      Andy. I'm the same way, but I bet most Facebook users (who are not
      social media natives) may be surprised to see just how puic their data
      actually is.

    I set my privacy options so anyone can find my posts. I want to be found.
