Individuals have now a better option than Public Profiles. Anyone who finds you on Facebook from anywhere can click through to see the parts of your profile you wish to show to others.  These are the elements that one can choose to make available for everyone or keep private.

Profile, Status Updates, Personal Info, Education Info, Links, Wall Posts, Basic Info, Work Info, Photos of You and Videos of You.

These privacy settings can be used to make any part of a user’s personal profile public. This thing is different from the Public Profiles that were really only effective for businesses or other large  companies who needed to communicate with a very large audience.

One downside is that with this option, one is not allowed to have one-way friendship over Facebook. Hopefully, Facebook will still consider putting one-way friendships to let people share their content with anyone.
