Google Me Social Networking Platform is Being Developed According to Ex-Facebook CTO
First it was Digg.com founder Kevin Rose who started the rumor that Google has been recruiting people to create their new social networking platform tentatively called Google Me. This social networking site is rumored to compete (and probably destroy) Facebook, which recently added Face Detection Technology as a new feature. He hinted that he was approached by Google headhunters to join their team. Now this tale is further being hyped up because Adam D’Angelo, former Chief Technology Officer of Facebook, has also publicly declared on his social networking website, Quora, that Google is really working on putting up Google Me with many people already involved in the project. D’Angelo called Google Me “a top priority project” that is being modeled on Facebook. It is not Orkut 2.0, Google is building this project from the ground up.
D’Angelo claimed Google has realized that Google Buzz is not enough to slow down the rapid growth of Facebook so it must craft its own Facebook-clone. He also stated that Google is already scared of Facebook because Larry Page and company underestimated Facebook’s meteoric rise to social prominence. Google is very worried about Facebook’s increasing leverage on them and other search engines. The social networking site is usurping a lot of social power that other web-based companies are feeling very insecure in their status. More and more people are using Facebook and spending their time on it rather than surfing other sites. As we all know, the biggest business on the web is advertising and Google is the biggest ads operator. Google’s business demands constant eyeballing and clicking of their ads but the emerging reality is that 500 million people are now happier to stay on Facebook. Facebook runs it own ads and has forbidden Google or other third-party advertisers from putting advertisements inside Facebook’s kingdom!
Google Me Social Netwoking Platform is Under Development!
The bottom line is all about money. I’m convinced that Google is really working on a new social platform to protect its financial interests. Facebook is becoming too much a threat to their advertising business. It will be suicide for Google if it doesn’t put any serious effort to slow down Facebook’s rocket growth.
