Facebook has turned up the heat on Google

This is one of the good news that the BBC technology reporter, Maggie Shiels said about the brilliant effort that facebook have made as compared to Google as a search engine in the entire world.
“Facebook has turned up the heat on Google by purchasing content-sharing service FriendFeed, say industry watchers”, said Maggie Shiels
In addition, Shiels said that, “ many expected Google or even Twitter to buy the company, which has been praised for its "real-time" search engine”. Facebook at the moment is the only website which is friendly user and with multiple task that can be completed at one goal. The research conducted in America indicated that , the current American President Barak Obama used facebook extensively for his campaign.
This type of search is valuable because it lets you know what is happening right now on any given subject.
"Google look out, Facebook knows the real money is in real-time search," said respected blogger Robert Scoble. Facebook aprt from other activities that it provides is an excellent social networking website that links individuals across the globe. The issue of globalisation that creates cultural imperialism is largely perpetuated by the facebook. The good thing about facebook is that it creates the “public sphere”, where people from different geographical areas , with different culture can establish, repair and maintain their rapport said Nokuthula Makotsi. Most people especially in the entire world can link up with old friends and relatives through facebook.
The BBC quoted Mr Schoble who said that,"Google is the king of regular search. Friend Feed is the king of real-time search. This makes the coming battle over this issue much more interesting," Many people consulted by Caven masuku, especially the information technology expert agrees with Schoble.
The reliable sources also indicates that Back in May, Google founder Larry Page admitted that the search giant had fallen behind other services like that of Twitter, which boasts nearly 45 million users worldwide. Lary Page was quoted from BBC saying that,"People really want to do stuff real time and I think they (Twitter) have done a great job.
In addition, Page said that"We've done a relatively poor job of doing things that work on a per second basis," Mr Page said at the time. This probably indicated the improvement that facebook is making in serving its user
