how the simple facebook swallowed the mighty Google .........


Basically I am Google man … all I know about Google was in the year 2004 , when somebody strongly recommended me Google.co.in to search for any info on anything in the world…. As I always loved knowledge , and info … google.co.in was a heaven for me ….. in those days facebook was a unknown entity ….still , in 2004 , I was using Yahoo for email purposes ….. Thereafter Google slowly purchased the Blogger …. 

When I was in Trichy, I saw a Hindu article, which mentioned about the NIT, Trichy  students using the Blogger Blogs to share their feelings …..   in those days Blogger had .com address … now it has changed in to .co.in addrees …..another signature product of Google family is the Picasa …… being a photo lover , I always got happy to post my photos, in to its lovely website www.picasa.com ….. Orkut was a success, but it declined on its own ….. the ultimate stuff of Google came in 2007 …. Yes …in that year I joined Gmail …. When I was using browsing in Delhi , one foreigner was using it … I was curiously looking on it …in those days I was still using Yahoo for email …. From the start in 2007 , I continue Gmail till date , non stop….  Ans so Google has so many lovely products …. But still the tycoon facebook has swallowed it ….. how …. All I say because of the USER FRIENDLY nature ….. 

we all know facebook only since 2009  … but what a growth …..  the difference between facebook and othet social sites is its simplicity and the more options it gives to the customers …. Facebook give you your own page …. It gives you opportunity to create a new group , new page in seconds …… the main secret of facebook is its non-confusing nature ….. your personal page don’t affect or get affected by your group ……your personal facebook page is totally separated from your  personal profile ….you feel the freedom …. But the new Google Plus , the social site introduced by the google is not that much ok for people like me ….  The main blunder , they did was mixing the Picasa and Google photos together ….. Google destroyed the wonderful Picasa , with their own Google Photos ….  When ever , you post a photo in Google Photos , it automatically get updated in Picasa , which most of us including me don’t like …..  so the social sites like Google Buzz, Orkut have become failures …I must admit …though Orkut was not a failure , it was totally swallowed by the facebook …that s it …… though even now I am trying to use Google Plus ,  it s not so impressive as that of facebook …sure …hardly Google plus has one tenth of facebook traffic …. Facebook rocks .... ….
