Facebook had the tech world talking on Tuesday with the introduction of Graph Search, a new way for users to wade through the 1 trillion connections that exist on the social network for useful information about what their friends like, where they've been, and more.

"Graph Search is not Web search," Zuckerberg said, explaining some key differences between Facebook's new, tightly focused product and broader search services provided by Google and Microsoft's Bing. For more, see Before Graph Search: Facebook's Biggest Changes.
