FaceBook Vs Google

Two of the world biggest names ever to come a light with number of users souring through the millions every minute but who would be the winner if these two where to go head to head? With Sergey Brin and Larry Page’s new Google plus could this be the moment in history where Facebook lost the clash of the titans? Can Google really dominate and also clear out a major name in the process? News feeds is the best way to show real time updates which was founded by the notorious Facebook but then the volume of feeds soured right through the roof with friends updating every second which is why ‘EdgeRank’ was developed which is an algorithm that powers the default page on the site putting every status update through three key factors before defining the importance of the post;

1.       Affinity – how friendly you are with someone

2.       Relative weight of content – relationships have a heavy weight

3.       How recent – the most recent posts are prioritised

This system was implemented by Zuckerberg in April 2011 for the Washington Post’s home page where the readers found “network news” at the top right hand corner. “The Washington post links their Facebook friends share. Facebook was editing the paper’s front page”.  Later on the times followed in them footsteps.

Even with the revolutionary way Zuckerberg people to interact is one thing but we cannot cross out the number one search engine who has brought YouTube and is developing media devices and could become a monopoly by making all programs and software’s for their products.

What would it mean if the two giants where to merge? Or even to be brought out by the other becoming a single named company which dominated the world what would become of other small online websites if the major ones where to be owned by one organization.
