It's a land grab. They had to gain users and build social/advertising groups quickly. I think there's something going on behind the scenes with Twitter and/or Facebook that terrifies Google right now. Otherwise they wouldn't have made such a bone headed move. They know better. The deployment strategy was a carefully calculated risk in my opinion.

This would put Facebook in the middle of even more conversations/social interactions.
