    Nothing can beat google I guess XD
    Most people have google as default page anyways. Facebook is catching up, alot of people using it on mobile devices and such.

    I'm for certain that it'll go to number one... There is a lot of Myspace people that haven't made the switch yet, and all the latin american, European and asian counries that still don't use facebook because of older sites... once they switch it'll be insane...

    FYI: Google considers facebook a huge threat to their business....

    Google you type: Florida Trip you get 1,000,000 random site results lets say...
    Facebook you type: I'm going to florida, any recommendations? on your status and your friends and people you trust recommend stuff...

    anyway, good stuff...

    If you know how to use the special functions on google, then you get the results that you want. On facebook, only your friends can answer your question - and chances are they are going to google for the answer!

    Com'on man... I'm talking about references... not how to find the latest pictures of Sienna Miller... however with the right friends you can get that...

    How can google tell you it had fun in Los Cabos San Lucas, and the hotel was great and it showing you that it was there and you can see it enjoying itself...

    I agree with you.
    However, Google can also provide you with multiple reviews of the same location and hotel/airline/etc. There is a drawback - planted reviews, but with enough experience everyone should know how to detect the fakes.
    In my book 1,000,000,000,000 websites (real or fake) beats the views of 2,000 friends (most of whom you've never met).
    Just my .02c

    Well, it won't be easy to leave Google behind and get number one position !

    But even 2 is a nice rank as it gets a lot of traffic. :p

    Nothing is possible. We can get to that stage/rank. It's only matter of one's will; " Are we willing to pay the price?". :p

    Judging by Alexa's graph, both Yahoo and Facebook are still a ways behind Google:

    Facebook is **** ... bunch of whiny amateurs who got insanely lucky and would have crashed the company if a bunch of venture capitalists didn't jump in and give them some real business people.

    It's nothing original, unique, or any of that. Just right time and right place, and the web 2.0 decided they needed an authority profiles site, and so all the energy went to FaceNarcissist.
