When Google launched ‘Buzz’, it seems that Facebook was facing a competitor, but that didn’t quite turn out so. Now, Google is launching another Facebook competitor "Google Me” very soon. They must have realized that Buzz wasn’t enough and they need to build a full and advanced social network site.
This is a high priority project and since Facebook is a strong competitor, Google has to make it big this time. Creating the next Facebook would be a Herculean task.
The Google vs Facebook social networking battle has been quite a spectacular debate for all but the fact is that the real battle is yet to start. Buzz seems vulnerable in front of Facebook and Google seems to realize that. Google Buzz and Orkut only acquired a minimal response and low customer retention as compared to the 400 million active user base of Facebook.
Coming to the users, there is a mixed response. Some readers are happy that there will be a balance in the social networking world. But, some are totally sure that Facebook has been embedded in their lives so much that looking out for another would be impossible.
Well, it would be too early to say Google Me would beat Facebook. Google has refused to comment on this rumor or speculation.
