It would be funny if there was a video about facebook. "This is Facebook. You can connect with your friends and see what they've been up to. Imagine the possibilities." - 2006. Ten years later, the young people who would then be in their mid-20s would laugh at the people who did not realize its potential when they were 15. Duh! To most of us, the web is obvious, and even Google seems obvious because many web portals and web directories existed with search ability--Google was just making it better--but to think of Facebook being huge is just not obvious to us. But, to the 14 year olds growing up, Facebook and MySpace are important for many things where Google is just good for researching stuff and images for school, and Wikipedia is good for getting basic information for school projects. In other words, I don't think most young people care about Google's apps other than search. (Sure, they might use Maps, but via embedded javascript in Facebook and MySpace in the future, and the Treos and iPhone come standard with a native GMaps application already.)
