Well it’s time to peek into the corners and back alleys of Facebook. The company is beginning to roll out Facebook Questions, a Q&A service that lets users poll all of Facebook, oh boy! Facebook has been sending out a few private invites to members for a while now with plans for a broader general population rollout later.
There has been a lot of buzz about the results, especially since they will be syndicated to the search engines.
You’ll be able to ask a question from a couple of places – the Questions tab in Facebook’s left navigation area, the publisher that appears at the top of the page, and curiously, the search box.
If you’re thinking this new capability could be a pretty big deal, you would be right. Given it’s 500 million users it won’t be long until Facebook gathers a truck load of data which could present a direct challenge to Google for a lot of queries. The boys and girls at Goolge would be wise to sit up and take note of this new Facebook development because it will in a very short time provide a reliable alternative to Google.
