Openbook was a Facebook-specific search engine, built upon Facebook's publicly available API,[1] which enabled one to search for specific texts on the walls of Facebook subscribers en masse which they had 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 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 received extensive media attention from, among others, the Wall Street Journal,[2] NPR[3] and ABC News,[4] including international coverage.[5]
In May 2012, the website was moved from its original domain youropenbook.org to openbook.org. In July 2012, Openbook was shut down due to legal reasons, and openbook.org has reverted to a foreign exchange website.
Facebook itself later added the same capacity to search Facebook pages for a word or phrase for logged in users, but pulled it in January 2013 and later replaced it with a more limited functionality that only allows users to search their own posts, posts by people they follow, or posts which have been shared with them in December 2014
Next status update on 15th february. In my opinion that's also the start for the early access. You can support them on Indiegogo so you get an invite for this early access. Beta starts later.
This Openbook is not related to the fb-specific search engine of the same name. Why they chose the name Openbook despite the name already been used for something else not too long ago isn't something I have any knowledge of. Can it be trusted? Nobody can be sure of that. At least one member of the team, Phil Zimmermann is a very well known figure in cryptography and privacy, almost in the same way Tim Berners Lee is known for being the father of www.
Openbook is another startup. From what I read I liked their vision, yet realize the general site functions and business plan itself would take constantly good tech ability to roll out and business savvy to implement.
They advertised in this com and garnered some positive reviews.
Atm...they have yet to roll anything out, yet did well with getting some signup for beta coming in the next few months.
Psst..YouMe.social has excellent management and once startup issues are dealt with, will rollout an ingenious plan towards becoming a successful social site. Albeit, i'm biased as part of the site itself :)

ReplyDeleteCyrill Kunze I'm sorry. I thought there is a copyright brand protected not the same for many products
