Come one, Come all to Facebook… except you… and you… and…

Yeah, I know this is old news, but when Facebook puts up a tool asking you to import your Gmail contacts, and then BANS YOU for doing exactly that… something’s gotta be said.

Jesse Stay pointed me (via twitter) to Om Malik’s report of Facebook opening itself to publicly-available people searches.
