>Google Hates Facebook
Sensationalism.
>Facebook’s rapid ascension is arguably what prompted Larry Page to tell Eric Schmidt to step aside in January so that he could take the reins of Google and make it more streamlined and efficient.
No its not. Larry has always wanted to be CEO and they decided that he was ready, after 10 years of waiting.
>But, hold on for a second. What if advertisers don’t care about personalization? That’s a big what if — but what if they don’t?
They do. That's not an 'if', its a 'no'.
>There are several possible ways for Facebook to make money: (1) highly targeted ads, (2) charging publishers to have a Facebook Connect integration (which is currently free), and (3) data analytics of users’ behavior/patterns. At the moment, their over $4 billion in revenue comes from option 1. The other 2 might be great businesses as well, but let’s focus on the first.
The suggestion that Facebook would charge for connect integration is absurd. Similarly absurd as that they would charge users.
