The new cold war: Facebook vs Google

Fuck douchebook!

facebook accusing someone else of invading others' privacy is patently ludicrous.

It's very not. And Burson is the last agency I would have expected to do this, as their rep is hard ass straight laced.

Odd you would think that.

i thought you hated everything related to the evil Clintons?

Of course not, my point was that they have the potential to encroach on their space and can take market share away from Google. This is a real threat for Google. In the future if I want to search for detergent brands, I may not search on Google by default. I may just search on FB.

I think their recent dealings, selling shares to that bigass Russian firm responsible for preposterous amounts of spam and ID theft is going to bite them in the ass.

Plus, the revelation that they are pushing towards selling your personal info to third parties.

there's only so much people will take, I think.

So how are they competing with each other?

One is a social network and the other a search engine more or less.

Unless google starts their own social network I don't see the point.

Granted they both have been caught stealing your information but don't see the issue between them.

Uh???? www.orkut.com as far as I remember this was around about the same time as myspace
