> Why would anyone leave Facebook to join Google's ghost town?

You don't have to leave Facebook. And most importantly (and highly likely) you don't need to join the ghost town. You are already there if you are using GMail. Don't you know that after using Buzz?

Garbage··on Confirmed: Google Me coming this Fall
> What I don't want is another Facebook clone

I think for this time, this is exactly what Google needs to do to kick facebook out of business. Facebook platform is a proven success. If Google clone it, they will eventually get users.

Google have other sources of income. But for facebook, its just "Facebook.com". If "Google" makes the clone and gets users, facebook.com is almost dead then (read like "myspace").

Garbage··on Python or Google Go?
Forgot to mention, I have working knowledge of Haskell and LISP. Not worked on any "project" as such, but coded a few things in both. Should I go ahead with functional programming then?
