Google flexes muscles against social networks

February 9, 2010 · Print This Article

Google isn’t going to let the popularity of social networking just pass by them without doing anything about it - word has it that the Net search giant is taking on Facebook and Twitter on their own turf, thanks to a new module in Gmail which can stream media and status updates of online friends. Hmm, that module more or less resembles a Gmail Labs feature that can be enabled or disabled at the detail holder’s discretion. Some might not say that that feature

is worthy abundant to be a rival since Google has already integrated Twitter updates in its search, but it could be a stab at Facebook considering Facebook is already mulling by plans to introduce their own e mail service.
