You've got to be kidding me. Google has taken over search, web browsing, advertising, and has the largest mobile platform. They hold your email, maps, search history, personal docs, office suite, and calendar. They authenticate you to services all over the web. All of your actually important data (you really can live without pictures, unless you are a photographer or model) resides with them. They have created several new protocols that the web uses regularly, and influences new standards. They influence how most web content is created. They have leverage over most of the companies doing business on the web. They handle domains, cloud computing, business services, and a range of other products I don't remember. And they control how you use the web with their browsers and OSes. There is no other company that single-handedly controls so many aspects of the web. Facebook is just a social platform; Google is everything else.
