We are however making economic decisions on what sort of people we let control our information and the future of our great human enterprise of the Internet. Facebook consistently disregards user privacy issues and doesn't work in a fashion many people believe to be ethical in any sense. Google, if by a superior PR strategy or their true drive to expand and 'Use Technology for Good' appeals to many people in the tech space and outside. Although Google is certainly a corporate giant, they are a giant we can trust is run by "People Like Us"(TM), and if for the good or the bad, I tend to trust Engineers and Scientists (Notice my bias in associating Google with Engineers and Scientists) a lot more than Businessmen and Politicians (And likewise for associating Facebook with the latter). Although I think the ideal Social Network would be run by some sort of neutral party, I recognize that the money is simply too great for that to be a realistic expectation - So in the interim I'm happy to have an alternative from Google, even if the implications for information dominance are daunting - I'm putting all my faith in their resolution.
