So here’s a round up of all the things you need to know about Facebook’s social graph!
Yelp investors appear to be worried about that type of search as it relates to places. Facebook said at its Tuesday presentation that users will be able to get results for queries like “Italian restaurants liked by my friends from Italy,” “tourist attractions in India visited by my friends,” or “restaurants in New York liked by chefs.”
*searching in that manner is similar with how we communicate with “siri”
Meanwhile, Facebook (FB) investors appeared to be disappointed that news was about search, and not a splashier announcement like a phone (something frequently rumored, despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vehement insistence that Facebook has no interest in making one). Facebook shares closed 2.8% lower Tuesday.
*I guess the social graph was a good move. Everyone though is still expecting a Facebook phone in the future, which I think might not happen anytime soon.

Soon we might find ourselves searching first in Facebook’s social graph before Google. But this just makes sense, what matters to us is what our “networks” say not what “Google” shows us. So what do you think of Facebook’s Social Graph?
