    In his book entitled "What Would Google Do?", Jeff Jarvis wrote:

    "There is an ongoing debate about who will win the social space, what company will own the social web. That’s a wrong-headed view of the opportunity. The internet already is a social network. So is life. The internet merely provides more means to make more connections. The winner is not the company that gets us to come in and be social inside a wall: the social AOL or MySpace or, for that matter, Facebook. The winner will be the one that figures out how to bring elegant organization to the disorganized social network that the internet already is. We are waiting for the Google of people. Zuckerberg’s stated ambition is to be that next Google. And Google is afraid that he might succeed, which is why it created a standard called Open Social and banded together with other social networks, hoping to beat Facebook at its own game. To win, Facebook needs to be more open, to look beyond its walls and figure out how to take its organization to the rest of our lives online. I’ll bet they will be smart enough to do it." What Would Google Do?

    Your comments please. Thanks.

    Facebook is NOT going to be the final answer.

    Some day the big "G" is going to come up with its own networking software and will leave FB in the dust!

    And they really should amend the orkut as it's really very popular at least in my country India.
