500M Facebook users, ready to answer your Facebook Questions

The giant social networking site Facebook is cooking the latest feature named Facebook Questions (Still in Beta).


500M Facebook users, ready to answer your Questions. Yes that's right! 500M Facebook users might be answering your question. I could compare this Twitter and Plurk but the difference is, your question is publicly seen by the said number of users. Unlike in two popular micro-blogging site, your status or question only available to your followers.

Well, it's not really the two micro-blogging sites Facebook's trying to compete but rather Yahoo! answers.

Here's a bit of information from Facbook's Blog.
