Facebook Graph Search has given the Graph Database community a simpler way to explain what it is we do and why it matters. Max will show you how easy it is to build your own Graph Search... and for the truly lazy, a second way to perform graph search with just mouse clicks using the connectedness of the data and a little metadata magic to build a multi-term search bar.

I'll also touch on the dangers and privacy issues of this data. Some folks gave me their 4000 facebook likes, I know everything about them and so does the rest of the world. You may keep your information quiet, but your friends curiosity may just betray you.... and it gets scarier.... while I can only retrieve data from your 300 or so facebook friends, I can get the data of the first 500 people you or any of your friends are in. That's thousands of profile data from a single facebook token. "The only winning move is not to play" with your privacy.
