Utilizing Facebook's Public Data

Very interesting guest column in Readwriteweb on the leveraging of Facebook's Public data. Here on the eve of Facebook starting to gather location-based data and introducing location aware interaction between people, their friends and physical places on FB. I think there are worrisome implications here. The author doesn't just point the problems out, he has used them to download huge amounts of public FB data. I don't think FB itself or their millions of users can predict the implications.

Update:
More on the privacy issues of Facebook location data.
