He's talking about giving people the tools for the social graph. Some tools help you stay connected; others help you make new connections. Most people think of FB as the former--helping you stay connected with people you already know
by Paul Sloan
Today, he says, going to discuss a service that helps users make new connections.
by Paul Sloan
Like any database, you should be able to query it. There are a few major use cases ....the first -- they want to know in the world, w/ the people around them. That's news feed. Another common query : who is this person? Tell me about them. That's timeline.
by Paul Sloan
Those are first two pillars. Today, we're talking about the third.
by Paul Sloan
What's more interesting is giving people the power to take any cut or query of the graph they want -- we're callnig it "graph search"
by Paul Sloan
What is graph search? It's not web search.
by Paul Sloan
There rare more than 1 billion people, more than 240 people photos, 1 trillion connections.
by Paul Sloan
He's describing the "graph search" -- and indexing all this content to it can be retrieved.
by Paul Sloan
The search we wanted to build is privacy aware.
by Paul Sloan
It's really powerful. On FB, most the things people share w/ you aren't public. Which makes search challenging.
by Paul Sloan
- Every piece of content has its own audience; most content is not public; you can only search for content that has been shared with you.
by Paul Sloan
He's talking about the difference between web search and graph search.
by Paul Sloan
I.e., a search for "hip hop" -- web search will take any open ended query and return links. Graph search is intended to give you the answer -- not links that might give you the answer.
by Paul Sloan
One big design problem, how can we answer questions that are intuitive.
by Paul Sloan
Answer we came to is: filters. (And he gets laughs.)
by Paul Sloan
We came up with something we thought was much more natural. After a few months, the team came up with ....
by Paul Sloan
He's showing a video of search. I.e., photos of my friends taken in 2009. Or photos of me and my friends. Or: restaurants in Chicago; Or: Music my friends like.... And so on.
by Paul Sloan
It's early, but graph search is a way of answering questions.
by Paul Sloan
Focused on people, photos, places and interests. Those are the four different use cases.
by Paul Sloan
One example: He asked for "My friends who live in Palo Alto, Calif., and like "Game of Thrones."
And the results list the top people in Zuckerberg's network.
by Paul Sloan
Another example: Photos of me and Priscilla Chan. The results pulled up the best photos.
by Paul Sloan
Another search Zuckeberg did: "Mexican restaurants in Palo Alto, Calif, my friends have been to." And the results pull up friends and their opinions of restaurants.
by Paul Sloan
He's introducing Tom Stocky and Lars Ramussen
by Paul Sloan
They're here to show more examples.
by Paul Sloan
They're showing how Graph Search works. This is not keyword search, he points out. Graph search is structured. I.e., "friends who like star ways and harry potter."
by Paul Sloan
The results come back -- 16 of his friends who like Star Wars and Harry Potter. It shows a list of his friends that like those movies, plus he gets to see other movies they like.
by Paul Sloan
Tom: These results are entirely unique to me.
