i dont want people i dont know looking at my profile.. its bad enough that we have the news feed.. i just dont think that it would be as safe and private as it is now
I think facebook going public is an awful idea. I think it violates some of our privacy, and may allow people into the network who should not be (look at some of the problems myspace has with online predators) We all joined facebook for a reason, because we like it. Stop trying to fix something that is not broken.
It just makes facebook like any other stalkbook...the (.edu) gives you a chance of a non-sketchy person looking at your profile...at the very least s/he would be an educated sketchy person
