The Future…

I found the Wired Magazine Great Wall of Facebook a very interesting story. When Facebook first came along, I never pictured it as being something that would compete with Google. I just thought that they did different things. But as they have evolved and my understanding of what they do, and plan to do-I realize that they are in very direct competition for control of the direction of traffic in the internet. Google is more information based, maybe seen as a more reliable source of information. However Facebook has information that Google just doesn’t have. Facebook has personal information about individuals that isn’t openly shared in this way anywhere else.
These two behemoth companies will continue to battle for the edge, and to be the first to create the next big thing. I believe whoever can obtain the most information about users of the internet without creating an outcry over privacy concerns will have the advantage–Whichever company can use it’s “People Power” to create, innovate, and steer the world in a new direction will be victorious.
