Facebook May Be the Next Google
April 22, 2010
Short honk: I read a number of posts about Facebook’s new services. Impressive. The key item for me was the tie up between Facebook and Microsoft’s cloud services. The Facebooker can use Microsoft Docs for social networking. You can find lots of write ups. I liked “Microsoft Beats Google at Social Networking with Docs for Facebook.” Lots of gems in the article but I noted this passage:
Talk about turnaround: Google Docs is aimed at business users; Docs for Facebook at consumers. This isn’t the first time that Microsoft has beat Google at social networking. The Outlook Social Connector does a very solid job of integrating Outlook with social networks, as I detail in my review for Computerworld. And it is far superior to Google Buzz, Google’s attempt to integrate social networking with Gmail. As I write in a blog post, Microsoft Outlook Social Connector beats Google Buzz, hands down.
Will Google get its act together and deal with Facebook? Will Facebook keep on charging forward? Fascinating shift may be taking place.
