Facebook Users Can Finally Search for Posts (AllFacebook) Facebook users can finally search for posts that have been shared with them, following an update that will be rolled out this week to U.S. English users on iPhone and desktop. Tom Stocky, vice president of search, announced the update to Facebook’s search functionality in a Newsroom post. TechCrunch If you have a share-happy graph, you may be pleasantly surprised. After spending some time testing the new Facebook Search, I was amazed by how useful it is for digging up recommendations. CNET Search has become one of the most crucial technologies in Silicon Valley. Not only is it central to Google's business, for example, but it has also become a key technology in many services such as Apple's Siri digital assistant, LinkedIn's professional network and Twitter's messaging service. The New York Times Until now, search on Facebook has been limited to certain categories of information, such as city of residence or pages your friends have liked. To get even that, you needed to type your query in a certain syntax, such as “My friends who live in Seattle and like Starbucks." VentureBeat “The updates are being rolled initially on desktop and iPhone,” a Facebook spokesperson told VentureBeat. “We’ll be listening to people’s feedback and making improvements from there. Then we’ll bring these updates to Android. People who use Facebook on Android will still be able to search for people, Pages, Groups, and apps. No specific timing to share on Android availability.” YouTube Now Tells You What Happens When You Upload Copyrighted Music (The Next Web) Sometimes, it’s unclear why a video is taken down or muted, so YouTube will now warn creators about will happen if they upload a video with a copyrighted song.

Ricky Gervais: Why I Use #Twitter (AllTwitter) With more than 6 million followers, Ricky Gervais uses Twitter to raise awareness of animal rights issues (a topic that is very close to his heart), promote his work and have fun with his “twonks." “I like it for many different reasons,” said Gervais. “I do it for a laugh for one thing. Sometimes I do it because I am bored. If I am in a taxi I say ‘I am on the way to the airport, I have got 20 minutes any questions’? It’s the equivalent of reading a beer mat 20 times when you are waiting for someone in a pub.” Tumblr Introduces Explore Tab to Show the World What's Trending (The Daily Dot) Tumblr released a promising new dashboard feature on Monday that adds long-awaited discovery functionality and highlights trending blogs and posts.
