A quick hands-on with Facebook Questions beta

Facebook Questions has relaunched as a limited public beta. The limited means it is meant to spread through your personal network: when your Facebook friend asks a question, you can start using the service. The “public” part means that you can bypass that by simply clicking on the green Go to Questions button.n

See Emil Protalinsks’s report, Facebook Questions relaunched as limited public beta.
