On January 15th at Palo Alto Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg held a press conference to 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. "This is one of the coolest things we've done in a while," Zuckerberg said.
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.
