I would personally like to see facebook go down. I don't really think it would be all that great if Google was the one to take over, because they seem to be taking over everything these days. It would be nice to have everything in the same place.

What is Google not working on?

If google bought steam, everything would be in one place yum

I don't think it would work. User are so tightly involved with Facebook that the transition to Google would require EVERYONE on your friends list to transfer (else it becomes a pain to use two different websites). So.......highly unlikely. Currently, there is no specific reason for people to jump em masse from FB to Google.

We really need another choice other than facebook. I hope this happens.

Facebook isn't what it used to be anyway 😛

That's what they used to say about Friendster and MySpace, yet here we all are...

My comment was directed at "haunted one".

And people are worried about Google picking up a few packets of their "private" information over WiFi...

If they leave out ties to stupid games and quiz crap I'm all for it. Facebook essentially became the new myspace, not so much because of the games and quizes, because it inherited much of the original myspace user base. With that came the myspace mentality. Before I joined facebook I didn't know how emo a lot of my friends were.

Face to face interaction? Ah, nevermind.

Facebook is fine, I don't know why you people think it's so bad. They fixed the privacy settings, what else is wrong with it? Nothing. Way better than that crap a couple years ago called Myspace. Everybody I know uses Facebook and I'm fine with it staying that way.

Orkut came first. Way back in 2004
www.orkut.com
And it's from Google

 

[KingArcher]

Isn't Google already tied in with www.orkut.com ?

Can't wait for the Google Mortgages and car notes.

So, I am guessing it may not be long before we have Google Porn

Face to face? What is this madness you speak of?!

Google will have to be much more careful about security than Facebook has been. Their reputation being damaged would be a huge blow and probably not worth the social network traffic. They'll have to think long and hard about the mistakes that Facebook has made before taking the plunge.
