It was interesting to find out that Facebook hired a company with
one soul purpose of smearing google, I guess if you can't win in a fair contest...
and you can't afford buying the competition, try to bury them under a pile of mud.

Adding to that, some of Facebook's commentary about Google Social Circle
really reminded me of this video of ballmer commenting on the iPhone

At the end of it all, Facebook is a lot more fragile than Google.
It doesn't have a big variety of solutions to fall on, it is but one product,
extremely popular, but let's not forget that Geocities use to be
the one of the most popular websites in the world.

Things change, and they change rapidly, that's the beauty of
Cutting edge technology (although the internet is quite old in those terms),
the things that were obvious last year, are simply not true this year.
