Facebook Rolling Out Graph Search

Stalker's delight?

|

Is Facebook Graph Search an advertising game-changer or a stalker's dream? Actually, it could be both.

Facebook expanded the beta version of its Graph Search on Monday, rolling out the feature to all English-speaking users in the U.S. It enables specific searches of your friends and the broader Facebook user base. For instance, you could search for "friends of friends who work at Facebook" or "Harvard University graduates who like Privacy" and find precisely those people, as long as their privacy settings allow the information to be searchable.
