Google Rumored to Be Cooking Up Their Own Facebook
First off, it must be stated that much of the information currently circulating is not to be taken as gospel. They are only rumors for now. However, if they do turn out to be true, it could spell out big changes for the internet, Facebook, and all of it's users.
Yesterday, Digg creator Kevin Rose tweeted that he had heard from a credible source that Google was working on a project that would stand to compete with the mighty Facebook. Called "Google Me," it was tweeted to be up for release very soon.
Rose has since deleted the tweet, but former Facebook CTO Adam D'Angelo has also come forward, stating that he has gathered information from several credible sources, and that this is actually a big project at Google. Having missed the mark with Buzz and Wave, Google is now trying to stay ahead of Facebook's immense growth with their very own, stand-alone social media offering.
If it's true, it sounds promising, but at the same time, past failures must not be ignored. *coughORKUTcough*
