Google have treied lots of products but really only succeeded with search and the advertising wrapped around it. We all use that search functionality to find stuff out, and it works.
Well sort of. There is a lot of junk out there that needs filtering out.
Along comes facebook.
Theoretically Facebook could create a whole new private global network. A nice captive audience for their wares.
Would Facebook stop us using Google? Well they could embed some new search functionality into what they do but probably not. What they might do though is change how we source information. For example when looking for your online christmas presents surely you would trust a recommendation from your Facebook network of friends or extended friends rather than the anonymous companies that come up in Google? Essentially Facebook-Search could become some sort of self filtering social-netowrk driven search.
thena gain I've had a facebook account for a few years but never really used it as my demographic all have accounts but don't really use them.
