Google and facebook

Arguably the two most widely used websites on the internet would have to be Google and Facebook. Google, one website known for always being on top of the new most popular thing on the internet, is apparently falling behind with its inability to connect to the social networking site. Many websites have a high facebook connectivity which allows audiences to post their activities from the website on their facebook page. Surprisingly enough google hasn't had any social networking capabilities until recently, and even those are lacking in popularity among googles users. This has proven to be a growing problem for google, because the audience which used to seek out information through google is now finding that some info by asking their facebook friends. In fact, more people spent time on facebook than google for the first time last August. Is there a chance that the google we known and loved for years now may be replaced by some facebook application in the future? Personally I doubt it, but I can't say for sure, only time will tell
