Facebook recently announced the launch of its Search Graph Tool, which will allow users to search for information within Facebook as if they were on, say, Google, for ecample. Analysts and investors were intrigued by this announcement as it signaled a direct challenge to Google’s search dominance.
But perhaps more importantly is the underlying strategy behind the technology: the idea that Facebook is now finally making their mountains of accumulated data accessible to users. The logic is that people will be more inclined to trust recommendations made by Facebook friends versus Google’s search algorithm. It’s like asking a friend for a restaurant recommendation versus performing a Google search for one in your area. The recommendations come with credibility. Credibility over an anonymous review or rating site because you know who the review/recommendation is coming from and can therefore diagnose the level of validity to their recommendation. 
The concept of allowing their accumulated data to be accessible is also behind the new Facebook Exchange, which accumulates pools of target audiences that advertisers can reach instantly through automated buying systems, thereby providing access to unique audiences on Facebook.
