I wonder if this is part of a new strategy of pushing him out to the public a little bit more.
Google started moving towards a more social experience from search engine by adding google plus.
Facebook started move towards a search engine from social experience by adding graph search.
They are definitely lined up to converge at a giant battleground, both coming from opposite sides of the spectrum.
Both will come with different strengths, however, Google's integration of its plus network is FAR superior, both technically, and in the sense of having a plan. Whether we use it or not, it is already stealing data from us, even if we dont know it.
IMO, google has no adversaries. FB is doing this for the fun of it.

If you don't want friends of friends seeing stuff, why don't you just set your privacy to friend's only?
You can't control your friends' privacy settings. If they tag you in something and have their own privacy settings wide open, anyone will be able to see it.
This product doesn't make sense at all. I can just query useless data from my peer group or the friends of friends group. Data which I already know and not care about. But I cannot ask the really interesting questions about all Facebook users: "Show me all female singles nearby with at least 30 profile photos each" "Show me all female singles nearby which love to chat and respond messages within 2 hours on average."…
Seriously, females are human too.
This is an important step for Facebook and I'm surprised no one has really mentioned it (all ~50 comments so far are about the graph search). The big thing here isn't graph search, or the fancy searching per se. The big thing here is this: > "and meet new people, too." This is huge. Huge! Facebook from the start was envisioned as a sort-of dating platform but that part of it got swept under the rug real quick. Throug…
It's time for online dating to die. I've had enough of my little sister calling me up with horror stories, like the time a guy's first message was "what's the largest you've taken." No joke.
A world where online dating takes place on Facebook (or Ark) will be a better place.
From the promo video:
-The world feels smaller…
Yes, I joined the freaking World Wide Web to narrow my world view.
-On Facebook, when two people make the same search, they get completely different results!
That's a feature?
What's maddening to me is that we are allowing someone like Zuckerberg, who obviously has many talents, but making friends is not one of them, direct our social lives. The sad thing is that it's getting harder and harder to ignore it, from work to friends. I fear that someday I might be forced to join this freakshow.

> This is huge. Huge! Quite the opposite, in my opinion. People don't like being bothered by strangers on Facebook. It's weird and creepy, especially so when it's a guy contacting a girl. This could be seen as a disincentive to share if you don't want your face popping up on search results for people outside your immediate network. It also makes friends who are ignorant or careless about privacy more of a liability.…
You can also change your profile settings so you have to approve all posts you are tagged in before the tag can be viewed by the public. I've found this to work a lot better for me than untagging
My first Graph Search will be: Find people on Facebook whose first name begins with Robert'); DROP TABLE users;--
