Right now Graph Search is available in beta to a very limited number of users. You can sign up for the mailing list and be notified when you're able to use it. By the time Graph Search is available to all users, it's possible that brands will have the ability to single out both their most engaged followers and potential fans and target them for special deals, promotions and other offers.
Graph Search is something that can again bring up privacy issues for Facebook users. For what I think Graph search is a little scary for a couple of reasons like the main reason that I'm concerned about is that now Facebook will get to know us better and share our information with advertisers. And when people search for our information as to where we work and what photos we've shared where we've been and so on, well its sounds nice as now we can know our friends better. But what if we don't want to share that piece of information with certain people on facebook and when they search for us they'll know it all, and yes I know if we don't want to share a certain information with a person we can hide it from them but honestly I'm not sure about it as many people that I know still don't understand facebook privacy settings as facebook keeps changing it frequently and people really do get confused, facebook recently did make a video to explain all the privacy settings to people but for some it just doesn't solve there problems. I wouldn't just blame facebook people do need to spend there time on facebook understanding the privacy settings which they do not do. Although Facebook dose say that they respect all of the privacy you put on all the content that you have shared with people and said that is was there main concern and its was the main reason that made making this product such a challenge.
The tool now is limited to search only four main Now we can collect all the photos places and interests of people, with the new tool. Now we can search the photos of people from long ago and all there photos will show, like if I have a friend named Edward, I can search photos of him from 2012 by typing "Photos of Edrward from 2012" and all the photos will show up. All your content on facebook now is personalized just for you. In the current version of Graph Search you cant search for posts, events etc, those things aren't included but they will be someday as said by a facebook employee. Graph Search is not only limited to your friends on facebook we can search for content people have made public on there profile and can be easily searched through the new tool. The new tool is in a way challenging the Search giant Google as if two people search for something on google they are more likely to get the same result but on facebook the search results are much different and for a normal computer user i think its exactly what they want.
Facebook's "LIKE" feature may become a problem now with the new graph search as it may accurately give a picture of my public self as I like Technology, music, movies, TV, my jokes with friends apps and alot more but honestly that's quiet a lot of useless information and I don't really Like something cause I'm interested in it I sometimes just did it for a offer they put up on there page and I wanted to win it does not mean that i like the brand or anything else, I like sayings that other people now make pages about. So I Guss facebook really needs to think about that.
Graph search on a conclusion does seem interesting and a very help full tool in most cases but I only time can tell what Graph Search brings up for facebook. Will it irritate privacy activists or will be trouble for the facebook competitors. but as a Whole you cant ignore the fact that the new graph search can bring Stalking on facebook to a entire new level.
