Openbook (website)

Openbook is a Facebook-specific search engine, built upon Facebook's publicly available API,[1] which enables one to search for specific texts on the walls of Facebook subscribers en masse which they have denoted, knowingly or unknowingly, as being available to "Everyone," i.e. to the Internet at large. Both an avowed parody of Facebook and an Internet privacy advocacy website, it was built by San Francisco website developers Will Moffat, Peter Burns and James Home within a few hours on May 12, 2010, and has received nearly six million page views in its first two weeks on-line from over a million people in over two hundred countries. The website has received extensive media attention from, among others, the Wall Street Journal,[2] NPR[3] and ABC News,[4] including international coverage.[5] facebooksearch.us offers similar functionality without the pro-privacy commentary.[6] Fbcounter.co.nr is another facebook specific search engine that offers the ability to see realtime ajax powered results on how many people are talking about a specific topic on facebook. It was launched on 23rd June 2011 by Toni Edward Solarin. [7]
