After Launching “
Timeline” Facebook is out with yet another interesting feature called as
Facebook Graph search.
It’s still in Beta stage and as Facebook said it will be available to
everyone with few changes shortly. It is already available to many users
on Facebook, but not everyone.
What is Facebook Graph search?
Facebook Graph search can be described as the modified or
advanced search on Facebook to explore things in detail. With this graph
search you can search for many things which your friends like, places
people explored etc.
Few Examples:
If you want to know about the list of your friends (or friends of
friends) who likes to cry, you can just simply type “friends who like
crying” and in real time Facebook will show you the list of people who
likes crying. With this you can explore new people who are with same
interest of yours.
You can even filter your search results to a particular place, by typing “
People who like crying in Washington” you can get the whole list of them. Sounds pretty interesting Isn’t it?
How to get Facebook Graph search to your Facebook profile:
Facebook launched this feature just for few limited people and this is now available to everyone.
When I checked it, this feature is even disabled for me, which means
enough number of people is already trying this. Keep checking that page
to join the waiting list.
Facebook Layout with Facebook graph search:
This is how the Facebook layout of an account looks like when Graph search is enabled on a profile
Friends requests, Messages and notifications
icons which are normally at the left top of our Facebook profile. But
when Facebook graph search is enabled on your profile they get shifted
to the right top just besides the profile button. At the place where we
used to see the normal search box, we can see Facebook new Graph search
coming into action.
Difference between Google search and Facebook Graph search:
Though we can get any sort of search results accurately using Google, we
can’t get the search results that can be provided by Facebook..! Let me
tell why. . If you search for people who likes playing cricket on
Google it will show you some results, and if some other person did a
search on Google for the same thing it shows the same results. No matter
who you are Google will just show the same results for you every time.
But in the case of Facebook each and everyone will get separate results
depending upon the interests of their friends. This makes the things
even better. You can even search for places which your friends visited,
Places which your friends recently visited. etc.
- Facebook Privacy Settings and Shortcuts you must use.
Conclusion:
When Facebook introduced Timeline features to its users many people
searched desperate to remove it from their profile as many didn’t felt
comfortable with that new layout of profile. But later people get went
with it without any regret and now everyone is addicted to it. But as
soon as Facebook introduced this Graph search, people started responding
in a quite positive manner towards it. I am pretty sure that this will
make the Facebook even better.
