The article I read was about Facebook introducing Graph Search to a hundred users to test how it works and if it is something they want to keep. Graph Searching makes it easier to find friends that like the same things that you have liked, or find pictures that friends have posted before. Graph Searching is different from Google Search because on Facebook, you wouldn't be able to search for websites that are going to help you find what your looking for, but what is on your friend's pages. They are hoping that Graph Search will motivate people to fill out their profile more, like where they've worked, where they went to school, etc, because it will make it easier for employers to look as a widespread of friends of friends if they are looking for new employees. So far they are saying that the users that are testing it now find it useful and are helping them learn how to expand it to make it applicable to all Facebook users.
