Google has 170 million users which sounds very big, but can you believe that Facebook has over two and a half times more customers than Google ?. The answer is an emphatic YES because people are using the social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch with their friends and relatives through the internet.
Gone are those days when email and chatting used to provide the networking facility.
Now Google does not want to be left far behind, and had launched Buzz, the social networking arm as part of Google email system. So all the Google email users can start using the fantastic social networking facility in just few clicks, even while doing your routine email checking.
Given the strong capabilities and also the deep pockets of Google, we can only expect Google to regain dominance in this area also over the coming months.
