Facebook "Graph Search" reactions

How does the tech world react to Facebook's announcement of the Graph Search beta?

  1. OMG WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
  2. Facebook launched what it calls "Graph Search", a search engine that searches your (and your friends') "social graph". Basically, your data and your friends' data. It's supposed to be very useful:

    I hope Facebook's new Graph Search can help me find the rebel base.

    "We don't think people will come to Facebook to do web searches, but if we can't find what you're looking for, it's good to have this."

  10. Here's how it works:

    "Graph Search will eventually allow a billion people to dive into the vast trove of stored information about them and their network of friends. In Zuckerberg’s case, it allowed him to type “Friends of Priscilla and me who live around Palo Alto” and promptly receive a list of potential celebrants. “We invited five people over who were obvious dog lovers,” he says. (Wired)

    Does that "Graph Search" video on the site suggest a smattering of natural language search? Anything on that? #facebook

    @rafweverbergh Facebook's PR says Graph Search uses short sentences. Comparable to Wolfram Alpha but probably not that advanced.

  13. According to Wired, natural language search is indeed part of "Graph Search": Zuckerberg says that when he saw the demo, he thought that Rasmussen’s approach was dead right — but probably impossible. “You could type in anything you wanted and it would be the title of a new page with the content just magically laid out. No one’s gotten natural language to work like this.
  14. Try it for yourself, at your own risk though

    RT @martyn_williams: Graph Search rolls out to "hundreds or thousands" of users today. Gradual build up to more users. No time frame on availability on mobile

    Smart move by Bing. When a bullet train is coming, you don't keep shoveling coal into your engine and hoping. You latch onto the back.
