Users will have a little more access to their social data, thanks to new features from Facebook and plans from Twitter announced last week.
Facebook has begun allowing users to search and edit their site search history, the company said in a Friday announcement. Users will be able to view and edit their search history, which is not viewable for anyone other than users.
The introduction of the additional feature has raised speculation about whether Facebook will be moving into the search space in the future, particularly given chief executive Mark Zuckerberg’s comment at TechCrunch Disrupt last week. Zuckerberg, as TechCrunch reports, said that his company will be looking at search “at some point” and that it has a team looking at the function.
For now, though, it simply means that you have a little more control over your data on Facebook.
Twitter also is moving toward giving users a little more data control. At last week’s Online News Association conference, Twitter chief executive Dick Costolo said that he’s pushing his developers to have a tool in place that lets users download all their tweets by the end of the year — if the technology permits.
