I agree with this article… Google Plus could more easily target Linked In than Facebook… Facebook really has to STUMBLE in some major epic fail sort of way… but I am really not seeing that happen, are you?
The single biggest problem that Google may be up against right now is that they’re fighting a battle from behind. While I anticipate very solid growth early on, once users realize that many of their friends haven’t moved over, rather than have to access yet another social media resource to communicate, they’ll slowly move back to just the one. The one where all their friends and contacts already are, where they can communicate in one location: Facebook.

So what DOES SEO stand for anyway? 5 years ago I’d EASILY tell you it stands for Search Engine Optimization… but not any more… SEO NOW stands for internet marketing strategist as there is just WAY MORE going on now than 5 years ago. Google Search is constantly adding (and subtracting) new stuff, Facebook is now uber-important, and Google Plus is on the way. The below linked is a great article attesting to my feelings on this very topic.

Ok so I am not really keeping score BUT it seems to me the score is:
Apple 15 BILLION (apps downloaded)
Facebook 750 Million (users)
Let’s see if I remember this… carry the one, subtract out the value of Pi, hmmm divide by the circumference… ah yes then Multiply by 1 / e
YUP seems to clear to me… Apple wins by a factor of 20. Good luck Facebook.
In the end, the winner will be….. drum roll please… my prediction… is… FACEBOOK will be the eventual winner and Google will have another Google Wave on their face…
