Facebook, on the other hand, "has clearly stated they don't want to get into the search business. Facebook users tend to use Google search. Facebook's ads business does not displace our advertising. I'm somewhat perplexed by the obsession because I don't think the facts support it. Things are going great for Google."
I'm not sure if this means Google still doesn't 'get' social. But I'm very disappointed to hear this...
- r00fus 16y agoEither they don't get it, or their external message is all you're hearing. If they're not worried about Facebook, they're silly. If Facebook reinvents search (ie, search+trust-web = social search), Google just became Yahoo.
- de90 16y ago"Social search" is only good for things like business recommendations, and idle time activities (games). Why would search of informative websites need to be influenced by what friends\family like? Not saying Google doesn't need to vamp that up, but I just don't see where Facebook has an edge on Google in the realm of informative search.
