I’d rather no one get it. Facebook is a platform in its own right.

Better for Google to own the whole world than Rupert Murdoch

It is quite obvious that Google is trying to play the same role online as Microsoft in the desktop applications. And I can not say I actually object to it – Google only adds the best into its collection and usually the apps fit rather well into the Google mosaic. What I don’t understand is what Google will do with Facebook if it gets it – it already has Orkut, and Facebook will be the second social network. We have already seen Yahoo! abandoning Yahoo! photos in favor of Flickr but how Orkut users could be transferred into Facebook?

Good grief,

Murdoch is feeling the heat, but he has a point. Google should slow down or there could be some fallout.

At what point has Google acquired more than they can absorb?

I don’t reckon anyone will get it either. But I’d rather Google own it instead of Yahoo! as it could sync perfectly with the current Google Apps.

I don’t think anyone will get it. And if they do, I hope it’s Yahoo!.
