Facebook is winning advertising because they have 750 Million users. Facebook wasn't created for advertising so much as advertising was the logical way to profit from having that many people use your product. Google certainly is motivated to compete with Facebook for that advertising revenue but their real motivation is just the user base which I'm sure they already have they just haven't been able to convert them to social users.

Facebook isn't winning advertising. How many users do you think Google has? I'm not talking about Google+, I'm talking about Google products, in general, including search.

> Facebook is winning advertising because they have 750 Million users. That's a rather bold claim. How many of those users see, much less click on those ads? I know for all my family (of which roughly half use FB), no one sees ads because I've disabled them. How many of those 750M are active accounts that represent real people? Fact is, we don't know and it's their revenue that shows us... and they're far far behind Google in that respect.
