Slacktory's video shows how Facebook Graph Search, as awesome as it can be, will quickly devolve into a completely inappropriate search engine for finding MILFs, GILFs, pictures taken at the beach and anything of that nature. Basically, it's going to start innocently with people trying to find others with the same music tastes, but eventually become creepers filtering and stalking people they wish they could have sex with.

You have too many friends—I promise you. Really. You've been collecting them for probably half a decade, like barnacles on the side of a slow boat, and they're holding you back. They're also threatening your privacy. End it. Read More >>

It's generally a bad idea to base your budget on hypothetical money that may or may not end up in your pocket. It's a much worse idea if you're the state of California, and that money is wacky Facebook cash. Read More >>
One of features promised with the Facebook Messenger for iPhone update a few weeks ago was Voice-Over IP calling, so that you could use the app to call your friends over a mobile or Wi-Fi data connection instead of your plan's minutes. The feature is finally rolling out to phones in the US, with the UK hopefully to follow shortly. Read More >>

Tweaking your Activity Log just became a necessary and tedious new part of being a Facebook user. Thanks to the service's new Graph Search feature, all that profile info you've painstakingly updated over the years (employer, home town, relationship status, movie likes, etc) and all the photos you've added over time, are now to become data in a database of the social network's trillion connections between a billion users.

Facebook Graph Search is an amazing feature with a terrible name. It takes the massive, inordinate amount of personal information and experiences you've charted over the years, and pulls them up with a few keystrokes. Watch it in action. Read More >>

So, not content with merely having our souls, it looks like Lord Zuck wants to rule the world of search as well. By now, you've probably heard that Facebook is holding a big dramatic press conference this evening, at which they've promised to unveil something big. Problem is, Facebook's press conferences are normally dull tedium-fests, so we're not holding our breath on this one. Read More >>
