Facebook Unveils Social Search

Shares of Facebook FB slipped on Tuesday after the company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced the company's new product. As speculated by some, the new product would be a form of search, namely "graph search." Zuckerberg explictly stated that the search would be social in nature, not a web search tool like Google GOOG or Microsoft's MSFT Bing. Facebook's new social search would be for discovery. Zuckerberg said it would take a precise query intended to get an answer, not just a set of links.
