2013 January 15th is gonna another milestone for Facebook
as CEO Mark Zuckerberg announce the unveiling of "Graph Search" - A search engine that will
allow people using Facebook to more quickly find answers to questions
about friends in their Social Graph. The search improvements involve the ability to ask questions in regular
English, such as "which of my friends live in Dubai?" etc.
The search is
now intelligent enough to rank your friends based on how much
interaction you've had — so that closer friends will appear higher up
the results list. Introduction to Graph Search
With
graph search you can look up anything shared with you on Facebook, and
others can find stuff you’ve shared with them. Each person sees unique
results. One example demonstrated was a very specific search for
"Friends of my friends who are single male San Francisco,Calif." That
refined query returned a select group of people who fit the criteria.
Apart from personal use cases, Graph Search can be used for dating and
recruiting purposes, which could make the product a potential challenger
to LinkedIn and various dating sites that incorporate social network
profiles. How Graph search works by Mark Zuckerberg
Go and turn 'Graph Search' on and your Facebook experience will never again be the same. Graph Search is about discovering things you've probably felt entitled
to finding on a social network where you go to share memories and
milestones. Now Graph search started working in beta, and will appear as a large blue search bar at the top of your Facebook page
The Graph search is being opened to all English (US) speaking users in the coming months. You can get on the waiting list.
Now what do you think about Facebook Graph Search? Is it a big deal or big joke. Know us via comments
