Facebook's Graph Search is Bad Ass.
https://www.facebook.com/about/graphsearch
I've been playing with this the last 3-4 hours or so and it is literally amazing. This is a brilliant move. Tapping into the social graph so fluently in real time is a testament to big data and how quickly we can process shit. I've also been using a tool called http://sysomos.com that is a $100,000 social media analytics platform... big data is sexy. There is so much you can do with it. The type of searches that you can do now... DATING If you’re desperate: Single women in San Francisco If you want a nerd: Single women nearby who Like Star Wars If you need someone your parents will like: Single women in San Francisco Who Went To Harvard Or Stanford If you’re Korean, and your parents say your wife needs to be, too: Single women in San Francisco from Korea Hunting for cougars: Women in San Francisco older than 38 If you want someone kinky: Single women in San Francisco who Like 50 Shades Of Grey If you want to get beat up: My friends’ moms WHERE TO EAT If you’re hungry right now: restaurants nearby that my friends have Liked If you’re a foodie: Restaurants in San Francisco Liked by Culinary Institute Of America graduates If you want to play it safe: Restaurants nearby that I have been to If you want something spicy: Restaurants in New York Liked by people from India If you want to dine like the locals: Restaurants in Paris, France Liked by people from Paris, France GETTING NOSTALGIC Baby photos: Photos of me and my siblings taken before 1990 When your parents were cool: Photos of my parents from 1970 to 1979 A photo collage for your best friend: Photos of me and Drew Olanoff Where you grew up: Photos taken by my friends in my hometown A very good year: Photos from 2012 I Liked SHARING EXPERIENCES A concert going buddy: My friends who live in New York City and who Like Vampire Weekend A night in: My friends nearby who Like Netflix and Arrested Development Hit the club: My friends nearby who Like dancing Who wants to sing some karaoke!?!: My friends nearby who’ve visited karaoke places GETTING ADVICE How to pop the question?: My friends who are married Getting that cavity fixed?: Dentists Liked by my friends Who should I vote for?: Friends who are Democrats and who Like The New York Times What game should I play in the off-season?: Sports games my friends play How can I find my passion?: What Groups are my friends in? What should I watch tonight?: Videos by TV shows Liked by my friends WHO AM I? Where am I?: Places I’ve checked in What do I think?: Photos I’ve commented on Who do I probably know but aren’t friends with?: My non-friends who went to my college and live nearby Who should I know?: People who are friends of my friends AND IF YOU’RE BORED? Just search anything than click “Discover something new” to get a random recommended search from Facebook. – Some of these searches are silly, but a lot are actually useful. With time, Facebook plans to index posts and links we share, as well as events and activity from apps like Instagram into Graph Search to make it even better. There’s still a lot it can’t do, and plenty of phrases it doesn’t understand, but for version 1 of an attempt at a natural language search engine, Facebook didn’t do too badly. What’s the craziest or most useful Graph Search you can think of? Post it in the comments and we’ll add the best ones. http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/wha...r-on-facebook/ |

'Facebook' and 'Bad ass' should never be used in the same sentence.

It's only for friends so it works out perfectly. If they make it for friends of friends then people will be suing, and for good reason.

Fail. I know which ones of my female facebook friends are single.. they're all single for a reason. Or demonstrably not into me.

Do people really want this functionality from Facebook?
I'm a social media fuddy-duddy, even though I was one of the first 15 students at Mizzou to have it. And I will admit this to anyone... but... I guess I just don't get people that make Facebook the center of their internet lives. I check it for status updates (entertainment and hilarity), to see pictures, send message and occasionally check in on an event a friend has invited me to. I get that Facebook is trying to expand its reach and keep growing its business, but I'm curious: How many people really want this type of functionality?

I have it now and it's novel but I don't see it as a game changer in its current form. And they really need to get their shit together on mobile... they could be killing it if they knew what they were doing.

Can people actually use this? If I go to the page I just get a "click this to get on the waiting list" option.

If this works as advertised, it's going to be pretty darn cool.

Just had this activated on my account. It's actually kind of neat. If nothing else, it's a dramatic improvement over the old search.
