Not only did the FacebookSecrets blog release Facebook's source code again, but the Mashable website also leaked information about the person responsible for exposing Facebook's source code. This individual is named Trae McNeely, who unintentionally came across the code in his browser. Out of a desire to learn, he posted it on his own forum and Digg. However, the event was amplified by a repost from the FacebookSecrets blog, which this time re-released the source code for Facebook's search page. This can be compared with the previously released source code for Facebook's homepage to gain a better understanding. The code from this release is simpler than the one from the homepage and is intended solely for reference and learning purposes.
