When Facebook offers a state of the art search engine, a version of OpenOffice, maps, news aggregator, rss reader, email, finance, shopping, etc, etc, THEN maybe Google can worry. Until then, I don’t see what the “competition” is.
I guess I’ll put it this way. Which one would cause a serious blow to the world if they went away, resulting in loss of productivity?
Let’s say you take the ad revenue as the “competition”. They aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s not like people are going to Facebook instead of Google. Maybe the article should focus on actual competitors. Like Google/Bing/Yahoo and Facebook/Myspace/Hi5

Interesting article, but their is really no relevance in regards to search portal Google feeling threatened.If anything it is flattering on their side and free akilades. Google is many years ahead of Facebook and not in one concentrated area. The reality, is that Facebook is a free AOL. AOL had the opportunity to catch the whole universe of online social networking and dropped the ball by charging people for their services. This is the problem Facebook is having in trying to make a profit. They primarily have more invesment than a profit. Reminds me of that online food shopping company that went public after all the hype. Facebook has to think of something fast in regards to going public, Its going to be tough to convince investors to buy in a stock of social networking.
