Google Facebook Fight

Who would have thought that 2 giants of the internet space would fight like mad cats... indeed very ugly/unprofessional. 
Normal happens in movies when 2 big companies use unethical ways to demean the other. As they say movie are reflection of true life and rightly so.


If rumors are to be believed, Facebook hired a known PR (public relation) firm to criticize Google's privacy practices. The attempt backfired when one of the approached blogger not only refused to bad mouth Google but also took the matter public.


Later Facebook, denied all charges and accepted to have hired Burson-Marsteller to find out how Google's new service Social Circle work.
Over the past few years, however, they have grown more competitive. Google is dominant in advertising that accompanies search results, but Facebook has the potential to draw ad dollars with its extensive knowledge of people’s interests and social circles. With little success, Google has urged Facebook to make its data more accessible to its search engine.
