    Today i'd like to talk about FB search system, i don't know how it works, as for me - I just hate it! It really sucks. For example i'd like to find girls who are looking for a guy, from 18 to 22, engilsh speaking, who are interested in travelling, who live in USA. What do i get from FB - PEOPLE! search by people in any specific area (only city, not country!) area and than filter all of them by your own! Question: Why do this multi-million company can't optimize their search system?

    That wasn't my general question yet.

    I just want to know, how can i find someone who are interested in services of my company abroad (IT sphere, web development, SEO, SMM).
    Should I add everyone and ask directly? Should I join some special groups? If so - which could be the best for me?

    Thanks for your following answers and thoughts!

    its a waste of time for them since they earn a lot from it, basically you need to join in a group or just post something on your wall. create a fanpage but more or less do the posting.

    You must use orkut communities for such purposes, i get all these easily there, but if you strictly adhere with FB, then look for ads showing off free girls...
    its the best option on FB ever..

    If i'd like to search girls - i will search them on vk.com )))
    Orkut is a beta of Google's social network, and it still has lot of bugs, I hope that Google will fix them all soon. And as for now - it's a nightmare. By the way their search also sucks.

    The only thing that annoys me with FB search is when i search for someone i know full well is on FB yet they dont come up in any of my searches. Sometimes I've even entered the persons email address and cant find them. Ive had others say similar to me when they have been looking for me. We even checked our privacy settings to make sure we were able to be found on a search and still they dont show up. Its a very strange thing at times!

    Facebook search is powered by bing and if you are concerned about friends related to your job, then go for linkedin

    I have a facebook app that took 2 weeks to be indexed by facebook, I have no idea what the hold up was, but for 2 weeks no new users could find my app through the search!

    That's the problem, how FB can be so popular if it's search system sucks?
