Facebook is launching a new service, a search engine type service to compete with googles dominance in the search engine area. Mark has described it as being the third pillar of the website, it the biggest move since the failed ipo of the company. Its slowly being rolled out, and is in the beta stages, but will be improved on through the years. The usp of this new service is it is supposed to give you the exact answer to your question rather than having to sive through thousands of links to find the exact answer that the user is looking for. Stock rose last week in anticiaption of the search enginge announcement, making this seem like a positive venture for the company.
