Facebook Users Mean More Business For Us: Google
July 14, 2010
Google Inc Chief Executive Eric Schmidt isn’t intimidated by the likes of new technology or social media at all according to recent statements. Google co founder Sergey Brin had an even more optimistic spin when he told reporters on Thursday that the more Facebook users there were, the more of them actually wound up doing searches on Google.
There was even a hint of a long running tension between Apple and Google over smart phone technology at the Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley. It all sounds like a lot of rhetoric, posturing and the like.
Apple and Google were one time allies before they faced off in lucrative markets like mobile advertising and smart phones. However, it does seem like there’s quite a bit of validity there when Google points out that Facebook users means more business for them.
Is Google just smarter than everyone else, perceiving things that others cannot? Or, is Google looking at the world from its own reality distortion field.
