Did You Know Facebook Has A Public Member Directory?

Facebook has a public member directory listing in alphabetical order at http://www.facebook.com/directory/people. (click through the screengrab at right for larger version)

How close are internet users in the First World to using Facebook as a public contact directory, as we used phonebooks in years past? A Fonebook?

At this time the directory only lists members who have Public Search Listings available on Facebook. According to Facebook, anyone can opt out of appearing in the directory by changing their Search privacy settings.
