Facebook launches open registrations

by DJ Neawedde | 26th September 2006

Facebook Open RegistrationFacebook has began to allow ‘non-college’ and ‘non-high school’ users to register on their social network. Specific new privacy features include: 1.) Block other users in specific networks from searching for his or her name. 2.) Prevent people in those networks from messaging, poking and adding him or her as a friend. 3.) Control whether his or her profile picture shows up in search results.

TechCrunch is telling all to “expect lots of heated debate over this move. And also expect exponential growth in Facebook’s usage by tens of millions of new users.” As we are very curious to see what happens in the next few days.
