Facebook moves into search with Q&A Service

FACEBOOK is due to roll out Facebook Questions, a Q&A service allowing users to poll all the site’s users.

The social media site had invited users to apply to join a sneak preview of Questions for some months now, but it now says that it is initially rolling out to 3-5 million users, with a broader rollout planned further down the line.

The launch means that Facebook can offer a dedicated mechanism for users to poll friends – something millions of people do already using Facebook status updates.

Questions won’t include Facebook’s privacy settings, so everything in is shared with everyone else on Facebook – the upside though is that it’s likely to increase page views, especially once Questions are syndicated to search engines.
