Watch Out Facebook, Here Comes Google

There’s a buzz in town. And facebook may not like it. Yep, facebook could have some competition in the social media arena. Being one of the top social media hit, facebook, has been the favorite. Here in the Philippines, so far, it’s quite popular. Everyone I know and everyone that I meet has one.

Facebook has been the favorite social platform of many. It connects people from different parts of the world. Heck, I found my elementary classmates in facebook. I even found someone back then whom I always have a crush on my kindergarten days whom I want to know what or where she is already or how is doing.

But these could go end cause there could be someone who will get into the social media game – Google. Yep, according to some news, Google has plans to compete with Facebook and they will call it Google Me.

Kevin Rose, of Digg fame, got the speculation rolling Sunday with a tweet that Google was working on a social service called Google Me that would compete with Facebook, perhaps Google’s biggest rival for attention on the Internet. On Tuesday, former Facebook executive and Quora founder Adam D’Angelo took things a little further by declaring on Quora that “this is not a rumor. This is a real project. There are a large number of people working on it. I am completely confident about this.” [CNet]

Now, I am psyched! I have to check this out when it will be online. I’ve been looking for other great place after Facebook disappointed me on their new image quality format (which looks really crap). I just hope Google Me will deliver this great. Besides, the photos they have in picasaweb is great. And maybe they will link Google Me and PicasaWeb. Now that’s spectacular!

So, are you still staying with Facebook after Google launches Me?

P.S. It looks like Google Me has a movie too which probably could give you an idea how Google plans to do or something like an idea where Google is going with this social media war. But…isn’t facebook has a movie too?

Facebook is going to be building a massive data center (http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2010/08/04/facebook-builds-data-centre/1), it might be a move to prepare for Google me.

Once that data center is built, they might offer uncompressed/high definition photos and video

Also a movie about Facebook, whats the plot going to be?!

The facebook movie apparently shows how facebook was started and the trials the founder(s) got into. In any case, there could be some scenes that will be overly exagerated.

About the data center facebook is building, I sure hope this data center will help elevate the image quality in facebook.

There still hope after all.
