Facebook Connect: Is Facebook the new Google?
From the fine folks over at ReadWriteWeb, who posted some thoughts about Facebook Connect.
I find this whole push for more data openness very intriguing, however the potential for abuse increases along with the wider adoption. One wonders how much damage could be wrought upon Facebook with a critical security exploit.
However, there are going to be some very neat mash-ups between handheld computers (formally known as cell phones), such as the iPhone and Google’s Android, and the Cloud full of data (Facebook, Google, etc..). Think Steve Jobs isn’t looking for another horse to bet upon, as Google looms as a burgeoning competitor. Steve isn’t naive, and has seen another company rise a similar path, if not by different methods. Microsoft 20+ years earlier.
Curious, is there anyone left out there that thinks Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of Facebook, made the WRONG decision by passing up on earlier offers? Even in this down economy, Facebook is positioned to be this cycle’s Google. Right in time, as it seems that Google is moving up the food chain, and becoming what Microsoft once was. Natural evolution of technical giants, perhaps.
Same as it ever was.
