After a difficult 2012 in which Zynga saw its stock price decline by 75 percent, CEO Mark Pincus called 2013 a \"pivotal transition year\" for the company as it seeks to cut costs further and broaden revenue sources, especially from mobile games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zynga went public in December 2011 with a lot of promise. Games such as \"FarmVille\" and \"CityVille\" were popular on Facebook, as the social media company was itself preparing for a highly anticipated initial public offering of stock. \u003c!--more-->But Facebook's stock stumbled, and Zynga's tumbled with it.

When you search for something, that search not only determines the set of results you get, but also serves as a title for the page. You can edit the title – and in doing so create your own custom view of the content you and your friends have shared on Facebook...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graph Search and web search are very different. Web search is designed to take a set of keywords (for example: “hip hop”) and provide the best possible results that match those keywords. With Graph Search you combine phrases (for example: \"my friends in New York who like Jay-Z\") to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that's been shared on Facebook. We believe they have very different uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big difference from web search is that every piece of content on Facebook has its own audience, and most content isn't public. We’ve built Graph Search from the start with privacy in mind, and it respects the privacy and audience of each piece of content on Facebook. It makes finding new things much easier, but you can only see what you could already view elsewhere on Facebook.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://storify.com/Whiteboard/facebook-graph-search-reactions\">Tweets With Reaction to the Announcement\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20130115/graph-search-facebooks-way-of-keeping-you-inside-of-facebook/?mod=fbbig&utm_source=buffer&buffer_share=35169\">Analysis from All Things D\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>What does that mean for you?

Yelp stock fell \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/15/technology/social/yelp-stock-facebook-search/\">8.5 percent\u003c/a> following the Facebook announcement this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before you start testing Graph Search you might want to review the privacy settings on the content you've posted on Facebook in the past. Also check out photos of you that your friends have shared. If they're set to public, they might be much easier to find thanks to Graph Search. From \u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/2013/01/15/facebook-graph-search-privacy/\">Mashable\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As an example, if a friend uploads a picture of you at a bar, geo-tags it and sets it as public, it will be Graph Searchable to anyone who searches for pictures from that bar. You can, however, make sure to untag yourself or request the uploader of the photo remove it from Facebook or change the privacy settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help ensure Facebook users have set their privacy settings to their liking before Graph Search reveals any unpleasant surprises, Facebook has began asking users to \"review who can see your stuff.\" You should expect a prompt with that language to appear on Facebook shortly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg has reportedly said Facebook received help building Graph Search from Microsoft, which has the Bing search engine.

Photo by Stephen Lam/Getty Images. \u003ccite>(Stephen Lam/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Facebook officials announced a new social search feature called Graph Search at a much-hyped press event this morning. You can try it out, sign up to be a beta tester and get a preview \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/about/graphsearch\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.fb.com/News/562/Introducing-Graph-Search-Beta\">Facebook's website\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. When you search for something, that search not only determines the set of results you get, but also serves as a title for the page. You can edit the title – and in doing so create your own custom view of the content you and your friends have shared on Facebook...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graph Search and web search are very different. Web search is designed to take a set of keywords (for example: “hip hop”) and provide the best possible results that match those keywords. With Graph Search you combine phrases (for example: \"my friends in New York who like Jay-Z\") to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that's been shared on Facebook. We believe they have very different uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another big difference from web search is that every piece of content on Facebook has its own audience, and most content isn't public. We’ve built Graph Search from the start with privacy in mind, and it respects the privacy and audience of each piece of content on Facebook. It makes finding new things much easier, but you can only see what you could already view elsewhere on Facebook.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://storify.com/Whiteboard/facebook-graph-search-reactions\">Tweets With Reaction to the Announcement\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://allthingsd.com/20130115/graph-search-facebooks-way-of-keeping-you-inside-of-facebook/?mod=fbbig&utm_source=buffer&buffer_share=35169\">Analysis from All Things D\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>What does that mean for you? It could soon be easier to get recommendations from Facebook on what to read, what bands and musicians to check out and what restaurants to visit. As \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/15/technology/social/yelp-stock-facebook-search/\">CNN\u003c/a> notes, Graph Search will generate results for queries like \"Italian restaurants liked by my friends from Italy.\" \u003c!--more-->That may put Facebook in competition with the recommendation website \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/\">Yelp\u003c/a>, which is based in San Francisco. Yelp stock fell \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/15/technology/social/yelp-stock-facebook-search/\">8.5 percent\u003c/a> following the Facebook announcement this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before you start testing Graph Search you might want to review the privacy settings on the content you've posted on Facebook in the past. Also check out photos of you that your friends have shared. If they're set to public, they might be much easier to find thanks to Graph Search. From \u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/2013/01/15/facebook-graph-search-privacy/\">Mashable\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As an example, if a friend uploads a picture of you at a bar, geo-tags it and sets it as public, it will be Graph Searchable to anyone who searches for pictures from that bar. You can, however, make sure to untag yourself or request the uploader of the photo remove it from Facebook or change the privacy settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help ensure Facebook users have set their privacy settings to their liking before Graph Search reveals any unpleasant surprises, Facebook has began asking users to \"review who can see your stuff.\" You should expect a prompt with that language to appear on Facebook shortly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Zuckerberg has reportedly said Facebook received help building Graph Search from Microsoft, which has the Bing search engine. That led to the obvious follow-up question, as Tweeted by Jessica Guynn of the Los Angeles Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Any consideration of working with Google? Mark Zuckerberg laughs. \"I would love to work with Google. We want to make Web search social.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Microsoft was more willing to do things specific to Facebook,\" Mark Zuckerberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biggest stumbling block in negotiations with Google: Giving Facebook users the ability to change how they want their information treated.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Additional coverage from \u003ca href=\"http://live.reuters.com/Event/Facebooks_announcement\">Reuters\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/id/100380841\">CNBC\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57564077-93/facebook-takes-on-google-with-graph-search/\">CNET\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hernandez is an Emmy-ward winning multimedia artist who teaches at Cal's graduate journalism school. He's been described as an \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/slideshows/life/instagram-superstar-richard-koci-hernandez-reflects.html\">Instagram superstar,\u003c/a>\" and his work using the app has been featured on the \u003ca href=\"http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/09/a-distinctive-voice-on-instagram/\">New York Times' Lens blog\u003c/a>. Yesterday, Hernandez \u003ca href=\"http://web.stagram.com/n/koci/\">posted the following on Webstagram\u003c/a>, an Instagram photo-viewing site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(B)y now you've all read about Instagram's new terms of service ... We're all going to feel different about what this means for us as individual creators and that is expected. I see myself as a 'cautious optimist,' so I have my fingers crossed that they, Instagram, will listen to the voice of the community and reverse the new terms of service, but I'm not holding my breath. I don't feel like debating the terms of service or being too nostalgic about the old days of Instagram, I feel that it's much better just to take our work and more importantly friendship and conversation to another place that respects our rights and ownership as creators. Let's move the party to a new location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until then, I'll be posting any new photographs on Flickr user name Koci Hernandez , Starmatic and EyeEm user Koci.

Everybody hates the bait and switch.'\u003cbr>\n--Richard Koci Hernandez\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RICHARD KOCI HERANDEZ\u003c/strong>: When Instagram announced the proposed changes in terms of service it was kind of an eye-opener. Funnily enough it was straightforward. Usually you read these terms of service and they are so full of legalese it makes your head spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were clear in their initial message that by uploading your photos to Instagram, Instagram would have the ability to use your logo, likeness, and images and take those and potentially sell them to a third party who could then use them in an advertisement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the scarier part of the language to me was the sentence that said it was possible we wouldn’t even tag those ads as advertisements. For me it was quite scary, not about the monetary issue, but the content of the images. I am very protective of the images I post, be it my daughter or a random person on the street, and I would hate to have those images show up somewhere without my knowledge, possibly in the wrong context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That really rubbed me the wrong way. Since then Instagram has of course reversed or basically put the brakes on and said, “Stop, stop, wait, that’s not what me meant. Let us be clear about our intentions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, a large part of my social network and the social sphere of the Internet was vehemently against this language. But I also knew there was potential for misunderstanding. This isn’t the first time that social networks have changed terms of service and people started reacting or reading into it something that wasn’t intended. Facebook, who now owns Instagram, has had many of those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DB\u003c/strong>: You said you were exploring transferring your photos to other services because of this. You also expressed some concern that Instagram can’t be trusted now. Do you still feel that way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RKH\u003c/strong>: There is a sense of uneasiness despite what Instagram has said. There is a sense that any company is looking to monetize itself. I am the kind of person who doesn’t mind ads in my community, who is used to seeing and sitting through ads. I’m also not opposed to paying for products and services that I enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I don’t like is when you offer me this wonderful thing and you don’t offer me an opportunity to pay for it in a traditional sense. And with all of this flimflam and legalese about what we will do with your content -- it feels like I need to be more protective in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what’s happening with Instagram is a good thing, because I think people are reading the fine print. I think we do understand that we are giving away a certain amount of privacy when we upload onto the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom and I were both at the South by Southwest conference last year, and I looked him in the eye and asked him about trust. And I really do believe that he really does believe in the creators owning their own work, and that he really wants to find a way to advertise and offer the best experience. But there is still a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instagram, which was once a very small, almost underground community, is now part of a very large social network, and things will change. The pressure to make and monetize these communities and apps is huge, but it makes me the user a little more reticent about using them, and stepping more and more away from Instagram and finding another community to share my photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are networks that report that, “Hey, we’re not Instagram. We want to be small. We just want community.” But you never know. I bet if you look far enough back Instagram said this when they were three people in a garage trying to make something happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know that there is any such app or group of people in this day and age and this space that’s going to say, “Here come and play, come and have conversation and we’re going to bite the bullet and take on all the cost.” Because you know there is always a price to pay. Because it costs money to host hundreds and thousands and millions of people’s conversations and photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My perspective is, just say, “Hey, I’m going to charge you for this experience.” I think we may see a new era of transparency as fallout from this. Which is if you see the service, people will be willing to pay for it to be ad-free, and they will be willing to pay for a certain guaranteed level of privacy for their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everybody hates the bait and switch, and sometimes you see it in an app. They say it’s free and you download it and use it and find out that to use all the services you have to purchase the service of $3.99. Maybe this lack of clarity on Instagram’s part in terms of what they were trying to do with their terms of service might turn the tide in social networks, and especially in social photography services, and basically have the user understand, “Hey, this costs money. Pay for it. Pay a small fee.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Hernandez said he still had a \"sour taste\" over the incident, and that he would prefer to pay for this type of service from the start rather than be subject to a \"bait and switch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DAN BREKKE\u003c/strong>: First off, you have some concerns about privacy?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">My perspective is, just say, 'Hey, I’m going to charge you for this experience ... Everybody hates the bait and switch.'\u003cbr>\n--Richard Koci Hernandez\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RICHARD KOCI HERANDEZ\u003c/strong>: When Instagram announced the proposed changes in terms of service it was kind of an eye-opener. Funnily enough it was straightforward. Usually you read these terms of service and they are so full of legalese it makes your head spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they were clear in their initial message that by uploading your photos to Instagram, Instagram would have the ability to use your logo, likeness, and images and take those and potentially sell them to a third party who could then use them in an advertisement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the scarier part of the language to me was the sentence that said it was possible we wouldn’t even tag those ads as advertisements. For me it was quite scary, not about the monetary issue, but the content of the images. I am very protective of the images I post, be it my daughter or a random person on the street, and I would hate to have those images show up somewhere without my knowledge, possibly in the wrong context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That really rubbed me the wrong way. Since then Instagram has of course reversed or basically put the brakes on and said, “Stop, stop, wait, that’s not what me meant. Let us be clear about our intentions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, a large part of my social network and the social sphere of the Internet was vehemently against this language. But I also knew there was potential for misunderstanding. This isn’t the first time that social networks have changed terms of service and people started reacting or reading into it something that wasn’t intended. Facebook, who now owns Instagram, has had many of those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DB\u003c/strong>: You said you were exploring transferring your photos to other services because of this. You also expressed some concern that Instagram can’t be trusted now. Do you still feel that way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RKH\u003c/strong>: There is a sense of uneasiness despite what Instagram has said. There is a sense that any company is looking to monetize itself. I am the kind of person who doesn’t mind ads in my community, who is used to seeing and sitting through ads. I’m also not opposed to paying for products and services that I enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I don’t like is when you offer me this wonderful thing and you don’t offer me an opportunity to pay for it in a traditional sense. And with all of this flimflam and legalese about what we will do with your content -- it feels like I need to be more protective in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what’s happening with Instagram is a good thing, because I think people are reading the fine print. I think we do understand that we are giving away a certain amount of privacy when we upload onto the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom and I were both at the South by Southwest conference last year, and I looked him in the eye and asked him about trust. And I really do believe that he really does believe in the creators owning their own work, and that he really wants to find a way to advertise and offer the best experience. But there is still a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instagram, which was once a very small, almost underground community, is now part of a very large social network, and things will change. The pressure to make and monetize these communities and apps is huge, but it makes me the user a little more reticent about using them, and stepping more and more away from Instagram and finding another community to share my photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are networks that report that, “Hey, we’re not Instagram. We want to be small. We just want community.” But you never know. I bet if you look far enough back Instagram said this when they were three people in a garage trying to make something happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know that there is any such app or group of people in this day and age and this space that’s going to say, “Here come and play, come and have conversation and we’re going to bite the bullet and take on all the cost.” Because you know there is always a price to pay. Because it costs money to host hundreds and thousands and millions of people’s conversations and photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My perspective is, just say, “Hey, I’m going to charge you for this experience.” I think we may see a new era of transparency as fallout from this. Which is if you see the service, people will be willing to pay for it to be ad-free, and they will be willing to pay for a certain guaranteed level of privacy for their content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Maybe this lack of clarity on Instagram’s part in terms of what they were trying to do with their terms of service might turn the tide in social networks, and especially in social photography services, and basically have the user understand, “Hey, this costs money. Pay for it. Pay a small fee.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When you search on Google on your desktop and you go from one site to the next, it’s troubling enough that they know exactly where you’re going. But when you search on say an Android phone, and you then go somewhere and do something, or you buy something, or you post a picture, they know not just what you search next but they know what you did next, where you go next, they know what you said next, they know who you called next.
