New Facebook Graph Search lets users search social information

Facebook

Facebook announced a new method of sorting and consuming information disseminated on the social network at a press conference in Menlo Park, California 15 January. The service, called "Graph Search," allows users to enter a query on Facebook and get answers based on cross-sections of information within their social network.


"Graph search is not Web search," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO. Zuckerberg pointed out that a Web search with the query "hip-hop" will present links about hip-hop; Facebook's graph search, on the other hand, can answer a query like "Which of my friends live in San Francisco?"
