Google takes on Facebook

I don't know how new this news is, but thought I'd share.

Google are delving into the world of social networking with a product called Google Wave.

Will it beat Facebook I suppose is the killer question.

Wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

This reminds me of the movie Enemy of the State.

i remember it

Google has ex-CEO's and board members high up (COO, etc.) in Facebook's staff already and they've secured several deals. They also have a $900 million agreement with Myspace for advertising and other rights. It's like Google already owns both of them pretty much...

Personally, I don't think we need anymore social networking sites. I think thereare enough out there already.

Bloody heck... I really think the social networking trend/fad (depending on how you look at it) needs to die.Setsa

Social networking sites get a bad rep I think. Don't see anything wrong with keeping in touch with friends and family through them, they are very useful.

In terms of Google.. innovation can only be a good thing right?

I don't, it is a good way to stay intouch and find information about things easily with my friends who I cannot see on a daily basis.

Holy crap, did anybody watch the video? That guy is like the embodiment of everything nerdy. :lol:

Google Wave seems most suited for collaborative projects.
