The Social war between Google and Facebook

[Mr Happy]

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.

And yes ShareShiz this is how you write web news not just copy and paste.

Facebook won't even stand a chance in front of Google+. Google has everything, that they can use to make themselves better, but what Facebook has is only the Social Platform and nothing else.

Let's see what happens to this Clash of the Titans

Facebook seriously made a weak move. I saw a lot of people's comment on G+ regarding this move and I somewhat agree with this person's view

Anyhow, more seriously, there are terms and conditions set out for the facebook service. If we don't like the ToS then we don't need to use the service (that's why a lot of people are here after all, they weren't enjoying facebook and were looking for an alternate service). I have no problem with facebook's action against this widget or whatever it is that lets you export your friend's data. My friends have made that information available about them via facebook, it's not my place to take it and use it elsewhere.

It would be fun to see when Facebook blocks the keyword Google Plus .

On the other hand, I when i saw Mark's profile is more popular than Larry Page's profile

Not really. Facebook relies on direct traffic. Its a brand in itself.
