NEW YORK , Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --  OverBlog a publishing and marketing platform for individuals, businesses and brands to harness the power of their online content across the Web, today responded to the clamor around Facebook's Graph Search by showing the platform's unique capability to surface truly personal results, not  from just a single but from all the social networks plugged into a user's OverBlog.
