    This morning at f8, Facebook announced that it is opening up for public search. This is going to provide amazing opportunities for conducting business online. What are your initial impressions?

    I know they aren't going to make their own search engine in the likes of Google or Yahoo!, but the repository of data that Facebook houses is incredible in regards to relevancy search. The implications of sorting and searching that data is going to be very powerful for advertisers.
