Facebook's Lexicon

My PhD student, Allison Martin gave me a link to Facebook's new Lexicon http://www.facebook.com/lexicon/, which looks like a very interesting tool for analysis of the language on Facebook. I can't wait until it goes live so that I can test out some of the topics that occurred in my data sample. And oh my goodness, how annoying that I have categorised the 2000 updates in my sample according to topic already. At least I'll be able to compare the demographic variation with a wider sample now!

If you type in several search words and separate them with a comma then a space, it can give you a graph with the results for several words at once.
