What you say online really does echo for eternity. At the beginning of this month, Facebook began publicly listing users’ profiles through mainstream search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN Live. Facebook is making this part of its campaign to expand the website beyond the college community and into other networks.
According to Meredith Chin, coordinator of corporate communications for Facebook, the aim of allowing non-registered users to access profiles is so they can find their friends.
“This is part of our plan to shift into different demographics, and non-registered users can see the value in Facebook before they log on and register,” she said.
