    This document summarizes experimental data from Facebook profiles in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including over 167,000 profiles with over 3 million links between them. It also provides general properties of the data, such as the diameter of the largest connected component and the number of unique traits listed by users. Finally, it describes three inference methods - Naive Bayes classification using profile details only, link structure only, or an average of the two - for predicting user attributes from the data.
