GOOGLE TO COMPETE WITH FACEBOOK???

What's this? The internet's search giant, GOOGLE is said to compete with the famous and number one social networking site FACEBOOK.

Wall Street Journal says Google is on their way on developing another social networking site aside from ORKUT which is a big business in South America and India. Some reports said the new networking site will be named as GOOGLE ME. Back in February, Google has launched Twitter's competitor Buzz but was condemned for its privacy isssues.

Facebook has a lot of games to offer as we know and Google is on their way to be the best rival as there have been reports that they are negotiating with Electronic Arts Inc.'s PLAYFISH, PLAYDOM INC., and Zynga Network. 

PLAYDOM INC. has a lot of networking games such as Sorority Life, Social City, Fanglies, Market Street, World Series Poker, Mobsters, Verdonia, Tiki Resort, Treetopia, Mobsters2(vendetta), Big City Life, Wildones, BOLA, and Mobsters Overdrive. Walt Disney Co. said earlier on Tuesday(July 27) that they are planning to buy PLAYDOM INC. for $ 563.2 M.

Now my question is would social networking fanatics and social gamers waste time on another social networking site? Will they leave facebook for Google Me as what they do to Friendster? We'll see...
