The Battle for Social Media Domination: Facebook vs. Google+




Anyone who has already experienced the Facebook graph would wonder, “Is Facebook a copycat of Google+ platform?” One of my favorite reaction from friends is “Seriously, Facebook?” The question still lingers on how and where the competition are heading.

Google+ team may not be exactly pleased on how the Facebook Home represents to think that the flexible OS can be easily skinned that you may not think it is from Google. The social network had already applied this flexible operating system by introducing the Facebook Home. Does this boil down to gritted teeth will all this competition? Let’s hear what the Google spokesperson will have to say:

“The Android platform has spurred the development of hundreds of different types of devices. This latest collaboration demonstrates the openness and flexibility that has made Android so popular. And it’s a win for users who want a customized Facebook experience from Google Play — the heart of the Android ecosystem — along with their favorite Google services like Gmail, Search, and Google Maps.”

The greater challenge will be on the Google’s part. To snag more online viewers not to mention dollars in online advertising, people who had created an account in Gmail and Youtube (among other Google services)are being set up with Google+ pages. Since both of the parties are getting the large bulk of revenues in online, Google are setting up measures for the users use the Google+.

This tactic had been from the Google’s top management. Google+ may be the answer to prevent the Facebook from dominating the social networking realm. A more aggressive and drastic approach is what they needed? Is the Google trying too hard?  The greater challenge will be the user’s willingness to share.
