Google Friends & Updates to take on Facebook
Even if the opposite poles - Google and Facebook join hands for an Android app, the cold war between the two Silicon Valley giants continue. This time Google is going the social networking way, writing on the wall against Facebook. Setting its foot into social networking, Google released two new features called Friends and Updates. The updated features would allow Google users to share their activities with other friends. Clearly, it seems Goolge is copying Facebook's style of sharing what on your mind. Facebook and Twitter have gained popularity at least to some extent by letting users make updates about what they are doing. Twitter allows updates of short messages, where as Facebook offers an update stream of various activities. This move by Google is a direct challenge to Facebook.
