Can you read someones Facebook pages if you're not a member?

[sandyRoe]

Someone I know is going travelling and posting reports on Facebook. Would I have to join it to read the postings?

[squarebear]

No, you can search for many things on people's pages using sites like this:
http://www.openfacebooksearch.com/
Just put in your search term and see what comes up.

You have to sign in to get onto the site so I would guess you would need an account. Unless there is another way in?!

[chelle7272]

Yes you woauld have to join and add them as a friend.

[Greedyfly]

There you go, Squarebear has it.

[ChuckFickens]

It depends on their privacy settings and what they have allowed to be shown on their public profile

[chelle7272]

oops. i stand corrected!

[Greedyfly]

I remember seeing the site Square has linked during all that hoohaa in the papers about privacy etc...

[mickrog]

depends what settings they have set on their fb account

[cazzz1975]

you have to join FB to look at profiles, some profiles may not be viewable due to privacy settings, in that case you could send a friend request

[Greedyfly]

Unless you use the above website. But as previous people have said they still have to have there privacy set right for you to view.

If I search on my name on SB's link I get nothing.
