Facebook Unveils Graph Search: Awesome or Underwhelming?

I appreciate knowledge, and believe acquisition thereof is *extremely* important!

:o)

WHO CARES!!!

Data mining is deceptively powerful, and this could add to that. It's extremely possible that some internet nerds somewhere going to do something amazing with this. If not? Well, just don't use it, problem solved

An epic idea actually. Ive been wishing for this since.

Sounds more and more like discrimination to me. I am not, and never will be, a member of Facebook. All Facebook is concentrating on now is justifying a few people making BILLIONS of dollars and they need to make more money for their investors. Those of us who are not Facebook members, and there are many of us, have no use for this so-called "search engine". We're automatically blocked by not being a member of the Almighty Facebook. Gosh, I can't wait for people to wake up and have Facebook as meaningful as My Space.
Good luck suckers. Be prepared to have your privacy invaded in one way or another and get ready for the marketing onslaught. Yes, it has begun, but only in small measures. Members are about to get bombarded.
There is only ONE priority here: make more billions for a few.

Stopped using facebook nearly a year ago... don't miss it.

Really? Do we need a "graph search"? this is soooooo stupid

just more spyware for the obama regime

Not really sure. I haven't had the oppertunity to try it out yet.

Oh, man... that's just what I've been waiting for! Now I'll be forced to totally reverse my opinion of facebook and actually make an account there.

I mean, I wish they would just stop. They know they are slowly turning into Myspace and are desperately trying to beg the public with their "amazing" new features. If they just stop and let Facebook do its own thing, they would have a better outcome. But no, they just want to keep on begging.

Could care less...

Face... book?

just what we need, another way to find people. Privacy is no longer in America or the world. Facebook, I have the Blahs.!!!!

Yawn.

Whaaaaat?

it was always there. thinking facebook realizing they aren't the only social media anymore.i think i'm on here(sodahead) more than fb these days.lol

The fact that its already been unveiled and still haven't heard of it speaks volumes.

ok honestly it doesnt matter, cuz it doesnt affect things that much and people who comment just to say they dont have facebook, no one cares and honestly its pretty pointless to do it

actually
in fact of
mmmm
and really
i used to be addict to it for few months
but not anymore
i just use it to see the notifications , chat quickly with my american friend and
when i feel bored
....
there are many sites really much more important than fb and fbing

Fb is a waste of time, dropped it once It became the monopoly of info and profit off others info. Loyal updaters keep value to ads. Will always exist but most by now realize its not worth the time.

More like already been done (time machine)...

haven't used it

really o.O

:(

This will not unrustle my jimmies.

Facebook, just like twitter, only serves to show just how childish and immature most people on the internet are. Truly, do we need a place where we can post all the stuff we do in a day, just so we can make ourselves feel better when someone comments on it. I personally have never used facebook, but a lot of the people i know do, and whenever someone brings it up to me, i tell them i am secure enough in myself that i don't need the worlds approval everytime i do something.

You've never used facebook, missed the point of it, and yet criticize it. Interesting.

My wife sits on facebook and twitter for hours, and i see what she does on there, and to me its all just a big waste of time.

Your wife does not /actually/ represent everyone who uses facebook or twitter as you seem to be implying by using her to justify your opinion of the entire site and its users.

Then show me one worthwhile use for facebook.

I'll just tell you one: networking

Not worthwhile enough for me. I work for my family's business, so i dont need to network. And all the people i talk to, i either do it face to face, in texts, or phone calls.

It's usefulness to you, /again/ is not /representational/ of it usefulness in general.

finding people/relatives U have not seen in ages

You know, there are those ppl. But I've used Facebook to reconnect with long lost friends/family. I've used it to share interesting or inspirational info quickly & easily as well as pics :) Also, bcuz I like certain news, both local and otherwise, I keep up a lot better on issues & weather since I live a couple hours away from my local news station. On occasion, a kid runs away. I get my teens and we quickly spread the alert through the community. They get home quick, lol!! The trick is I use Facebook. I don't let it use me. I don't fill out profiles. If you need to know, you do. I don't share my location, a stalker's dream. Who else would give a rat's ass if I just checked in at Jiffy Lube? Lol!! And that's what I heard was the new thing abt it -- now you can stand outside a club and scan to see if any of your FB friends are in there!! How creepy is that?!
