Misión:: Facebook has always tried to help people learn more about the world around them. Now with Facebook Lexicon it is helping them learn more insight into the collective conversation on the site. Curious about which U.S. presidential candidate is being talked about the most? Which one is talked about more positively? Or how the chatter about "skiing" and the "beach" changes over time?

Lexicon aggregates and analyzes millions of Facebook Wall posts every day to provide a searchable database of trends over time. Users can query a single word or two-word combinations and compare as many as five strings per query. The results display a chart plotting the frequency with which the words are being discussed each day. All this is done automatically with no person reading individual Wall posts and all information aggregated anonymously to protect your privacy.

We hope that Lexicon will help bring a little more understanding about what’s happening in the world. Check it out for yourself.
