The war between Google and Facebook has well and truly started. Shortly after Google+ opened to limited testing it started grabbing all the headlines. All the media attention was focused on Google+ leaving Facebook temporarily forgotten. In an attempt to counter this Facebook CEO Mark Zukerberg announced "something awesome" was coming to Facebook but left no further information to try and get the media speculating. Sure enough it worked and what's more the new feature is believed to be Skype video integration believed to be similar to what Google+ has in it's "Hangout" feature. The "awesome" feature is officially announced tomorrow in the Seattle office when we'll find out more.

Mark Zukerberg not only joined Google+ to check out the new competition (which he confirmed was his account and not an imitation) but he's putting Google to shame now having more followers on Google+ than any other person beating Google's own CEO Larry Page into second place according to SocialStatistics.

One of the main starting points of the war was when Facebook stopped allowing it's members to export it's friends to gmail when rumors of Google+ started to surface a number of months ago.
On the launch of Google+ this was countered with a Google Chrome plugin that allows you to export friends to Google+ but now Facebook have countered this and blocked the plugin.
The extension developer Mohamed Mansour claims “Facebook is trying so hard to not allow you to export your friends. They started to remove emails of your friends from your profile by today July 5th 2011. (The extension) will no longer work for many people”, Mansour wrote on the extension’s homepage and has promised to build a new version in response.

Let's see what's the next move.
