In Your Face(book), MySpace!
July 19, 2007
So, Google are likely to buy Facebook. Doesn’t surprise me really; what can’t they buy?
I admit, I never expected MySpace to be beaten on the social networking scene – just like iPods seem to be completely ruling the MP3 business – but I’ve got a buzzing feeling about Facebook.
The whole ‘poking’ thing seems to have taken off and what with such a huge response from university students for the calendar features, word of mouth has probably been the biggest advertisement feature for it. Hey, even Cosmo referred to it in a recent article.
I still think MySpace have the head of media – top blockbusters, TV shows and bands are even using MySpace as their main website now – but I have a good feeling that Facebook will steal a vast amount of the general public.

I’ve noticed different reports stating that Google are rumoured to be looking at buying it.
It’s not definite at all, but judging by their past purchases, I wouldn’t be surprised if they went ahead with it.

more of a facebook boy myself. s’neater and since the launch of the platform, has stacks of functionality. myspace requires one to have a diploma in HTML to get a page halff-decent, and the use of it by bands makes it seem all the more exclusive, and less for the mere mortal.
