Will Facebook give Google a run for its money?

Valleywag doesn’t think so,
but I have a feeling there could be a surprise around the corner if
Facebook continues to grow at this same pace. With users comes money
for companies smart enough to figure it out.


Americans may not know what kind of phenomenon Facebook has become
here in Canada, but everyone I know (or once knew), minus the few still
using ICQ and Netscape Navigator, have a profile. It is even a popular
and successful way for people to plan (and find out about) things like
10 year highschool reunions. Even the Facebook inbox is becoming the
preferred method of communication between some friends.


Noticeably missing from Facebook is a way to search the internet.
That could be the only thing stopping people from setting it as their
home page in their browser. If Google could partner with or purchase
Facebook, I don’t see there being much of a problem, however,
ignorance of its popularity could cost Google if deal isn’t
struck soon.


So, maybe the company won’t be as successful in capitalizing
its users as Google was, but they certainly have potential to hurt them
if the service becomes as popular in other countries as it has here. I
would be interested to hear from people in other countries with regards
to how popular the service has become. Also, do you think there could
be problems for Google if Facebook partners with a competing search
company?
