Facebook, a second Internet?

Google_logoIn the near future, where will you go to search for products, reviews or news articles? Facebook or Google? Apparently there’s a “war” going on between Facebook and Google, that might not be obvious to a lot of people. The issue: Lots of the content created on, and uploaded to, Facebook, is shielded from Google and other search engines. A Facebook-login is required to view data available to “everyone”. This means the data cannot be searched from search engines, but only by Facebook users.

Today, the Google-Facebook rivalry isn’t just going strong, it has evolved into a full-blown battle over the future of the Internet—its structure, design, and utility. For the last decade or so, the Web has been defined by Google’s algorithms—rigorous and efficient equations that parse practically every byte of online activity to build a dispassionate atlas of the online world

  1. The interesting thing between the war of Google and facebook is this people really enjoy searching on Facebook as it is fun for them there and learning becomes alot easier and helpful along with the comments of others.But still as Google is progressing day by day specially after changing their algorithm now Google search is much more advance and efficient and still the race between Google and Facebook if there is any is not so intresting.Also it seems that all the stuff in Facebook is mostly taken and filtered by the Google.
