INFOGRAPHIC: Facebook Versus Google. + Facebook vs. Google: The battle for the future of the Web - Nov. 3. FORTUNE -- Paul Adams is one of Silicon Valley's most wanted. He's an intellectually minded product designer with square-framed glasses, a thick Irish accent, and a cult following of passionate techies. As one of Google's lead social researchers, he helped dream up the big idea behind the company's new social network, Google+: those flexible circles that let you group friends easily under monikers like "real friends" or "college buddies.
" He never got to help bring his concept to consumers, though. In a master talent grab last December, Facebook lured him 10 miles east to Palo Alto to help design social advertisements. On his blog, Adams explained, "Google values technology, not social science. " In the long history of tech rivalries, rarely has there been a battle as competitive as the raging war between the web's wonder twins. In one corner is Facebook, the reigning champion of the social web, trying to cement its position as the owner of everyone's online identity.
Google Facebook. The Facebook Chart That Freaks Google Out - Peter Kafka. Facebook and Google Execs Equally Suck at Social Media. Michael Degusta at The Understatement posted a fun study yesterday on how little Google’s management team actually use their Google+ service. These managers need to stand behind their product, he says, and Facebook’s management are “far more active on their public feeds than Google is on theirs.” I completely agree… except for that part about Facebook sharing information publicly. Welcome to my own fun little study, called “Facebook Execs Sharing Publicly on Facebook (or not).” This is completely unscientific, but here’s what I did: Took the 12 execs listed on Facebook’s bio section on their website. You can even try this at home. Facebook Execs Not Embracing Public Sharing This is going to shock you and rock the technology world, but Facebook executives aren’t sharing a whole lot of their personal information publicly, either. *Note: Please do not judge me on my pie-chart making skills.
This applies for all social media companies networks, not just Google+. What About Mark Zuckerberg? Google Downgraded on Threat From Facebook | PCWorld. News October 5, 2011 02:17 PM ET Computerworld - A brokerage and investment banking firm downgraded Google from "buy" to "hold" because of the growing threat from social media companies like Facebook. Jordan Rohan, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus, wrote in a note to clients that Google is "weakening" and interest is shifting to Facebook, which increasingly is a competitor to Google. Calling Facebook a "key gravitational force on the Internet," Rohan said the social network now occupies 30% of the total time people spend on the Internet.
"The Internet's center of gravity is shifting from Google to Facebook," Rohan wrote. Search, Google's claim to fame, isn't the business attribute it used to be, he said. "Search is an effective and efficient marketing channel, particularly for direct response advertisers," added Rohan. "Search just isn't the bright shiny object that it was when Google became a public company in 2004," he said. Google did not respond to a request for comment on the downgrade. Facebook game leaders: We’re not worried about Google+ games. For now, Facebook’s gaming managers aren’t worried about the competition from Google+. If they keep doing a good job growing the engagement and monetization of users on their own platform, they expect that game developers, users, and Facebook itself will be happy no matter what the competitive landscape looks like. The stakes are pretty high right now, as Google and Facebook have finally begun to compete directly against each other this week in the social game market, where billions of dollars are at stake.
But if Facebook is worried about Google, its representatives didn’t show it. Rather, they showed off new changes aimed at optimizing the social network for both game developers and their fans. The conversation was wide open and covered a range of topics, as you’ll see below. Ryan said Google’s effort to invade social networking was a lot like McDonald’s efforts to outdo Starbucks in premium coffee.

Ever since RockMelt launched its social browser, it’s been known unofficially as the Facebook browser. Facebook chat, status updates and sharing are all built right into the browser. Now Facebook and RockMelt are officially working together in a product partnership, and the first fruits of that collaboration can be seen in the latest release available today, RockMelt 3. RockMelt is still an independent browser with only a few hundred thousand active users.
Facebook made no investment in RockMelt, nor is it going to help promote or distribute the browser, at least initially. There are several new features in RockMelt 3. The second new feature is that Facebook notifications, messages, and friend requests—what Facebook engineers internally call “the jewels”—are now visible at the top of RockMelt right in the chrome itself.

These days most of us spend a lot of time on social sites like Facebook and Google+, but how often do we stop to think about privacy? Unfortunately, not as often as we probably should. In a new infographic shared exclusively with Social Times, PEER 1 Hosting explores the privacy settings on both Facebook and Google+ and reveals that even if we have our privacy settings in place we may not be as protected as we think we are. According to the infographic, ‘Facebook Vs. Google Plus Privacy: What You Need To Know’, if we’re not careful Facebook will do everything from sharing our phone number to mapping our location.
How does Google+ stack up? So how can you protect yourself? +++ but conplex Facebook Will Surpass Google In Advertising Revenues. Editor’s note: Continuing our exploration of how Facebook could eat Google’s lunch, guest author Hussein Fazal makes the case for Facebook’s potential advantage in advertising. Fazal is CEO of AdParlor, an ad management and technology company for Facebook campaigns. Not too long ago—the common perception was that Facebook advertising did not work. Why would a user notice an advertisement with a small image discretely tucked away in the right-hand column? In fact, most users were building up their “banner blindness,” and ignoring the right-hand column altogether. However, much regarding Facebook ads has changed since then. Despite all this success, Facebook’s revenues are still far behind the search giant, and claiming that they will surpass Google is a bold statement.
Data from over a hundred billion Facebook marketplace (right-hand-column) impressions that AdParlor has managed shows indisputable evidence that social ads produce a significant jump in performance.

Google’s Eric Schmidt Says He ‘Screwed Up’ on Social Networking | Epicenter Google chairman Eric Schmidt took responsibility for the search titan’s failure to counter Facebook’s explosive growth, saying he saw the threat coming but failed to do much about it. Speaking at the D9 tech conference outside Los Angeles Tuesday evening, Schmidt said that for five years, he’s been aware of the competitive threat posed by upstart social networking websites like Facebook and LinkedIn. Schmidt even wrote internal memos about the threat, he said, but was so focused on running Google’s day-to-day operations that he didn’t give the issue the necessary attention. In an interview with AllThingsD’s Kara Swisher, Schmidt described Google’s social stumble as his biggest regret.
“I clearly knew I had to do something and I failed to do it,” Schmidt said. “CEOs need to take responsibility. I screwed up.” Pressed by Swisher and her co-host, Wall Street Journal tech columnist Walt Mossberg, about why he didn’t focus more on social networking, Schmidt had a simple answer: Google Rolls Out Social Search Globally. Google will roll out its somewhat controversial Social Search feature to 19 more languages next week, the company announced on its official blog. Launched in October 2009, Social Search is a feature that combines regular search results with publicly available data created by your friends' social media activities. Your "friends" are quite loosely defined and include people in your Google Talk friends list, your Google Contacts, people you're following on Buzz and Google Reader and other networks you've linked from your Google profile or Google Account. Google can also find your friends on public networks such as Twitter and Facebook and gather the data from their public connections as well.

Unless you’re living in a cave, or perhaps a compound just outside Islamabad, you’ve most probably heard about Facebook’s dirty little secret that was unearthed by both The Daily Beast and USA Today last week. While comments and responses, statements and apologies can be made, and are a plenty, let’s have a look at what could have caused such an action by Facebook.

It could easily be boiled down to a, “You say potato, I say puhtahtow” issue, with some calling “smear,” while others call it “fact confirmation” (mainly Facebook), however this isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumblings surrounding the Big G’s privacy policies. According to a statement issued by Facebook, Google Ok, fair play thus far.
The Difference Between Google Adwords and Facebook Advertising: Demand Generation vs Demand Fulfillment. As advertising channels proliferate online, we are constantly asked: which channel should I be using? The two heavy weight channels – search and display – have been mainstays for years now, but still aren’t fully understood. In particular, while Facebook has grown tremendously as an advertising channel – it’s now more than 2x as large as the closest display competitor – we believe that it remains misunderstood and underutilized. We hear a common refrain: search advertising screens for intent and hence is about demand fulfillment while Facebook advertising does not and hence is about demand generation. While that refrain contains some truth, it’s dramatically oversimplified and obscures the opportunities and risks of both channels.
