On Wednesday, Facebook introduced a beta product that lets users pose questions to the social network's community. With this new application, called "Facebook Questions," users can get a broader set of answers and learn valuable information from people knowledgeable on a range of topics, says Facebook's blog. Users can ask a question to the community by clicking the "Ask Question" button at the top of the homepage. Questions can be tagged with a specific topic in order to show them to the most relevant people. All questions and answers posted using the application are public and visible to everyone on the Internet, the blog states. Users wanting to ask a question to friends or specific members of their network can still pose it as a status update. Facebook blog
