Not a good idea. I come to Facebook for one reason only - to see updates in my social circle. Nothing else. I don't (want to) come to Facebook to search for "consumer trends in the QSR industry". That's Google's job.
- apl 16y agoIt's not about what you (or I) need. Sure, using both Google and Facebook is fine. But Facebook might gain ground if they added (social?) search functions to their offerings. I don't necessarily agree with the author's assessment -- building a search engine that competes with Google is a decidedly non-trivial project. Still, I think you may be missing his point.
- bvi 16y agoOh, I get his point. It's just that his point doesn't make any sense from Facebook's perspective as well. Facebook's essence is to be your one-stop destination for anything "social" in your life. They would not do well to expand into generic search, since that's what most users associate Google with, not Facebook.
