WELCOME TO THE Weird Wide Web – where we take a look at some of the internet’s best offerings in social media, tech, science and weird news.

Graph Search

One of Facebook’s most recent changes to privacy settings(we know, it’s hard to keep up) is to eliminate the option to stay invisible in search. In other words, users can now search for anyone they know through the site and find them.

There are, of course, privacy concerns linked to this – and it’s all part of a new feature called Graph Search that allows users to search Facebook with queries like “which of my friends like Daniel O’Donnell?” or “which friends of my friends like sushi and live in Glasgow?”.

So… that’s pretty much it in terms of privacy, folks.
