And Google won\u2019t put up  with Facebook\u2019s rise to power any longer.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just recently, <a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2010\/TECH\/social.media\/07\/01\/google.facebook.rival.cashmore\/index.html?fbid=syCXTEBHQU5\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Pete  Cashmore of Mashable<\/a> wrote an article about Google hatching a plan to put up  a social networking site to rival Facebook\u2019s seeming monopoly of the social  networking industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHow to delete my Facebook\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a rise of search trends that people are looking for a way to delete  their Facebook accounts. And that, for Google is a business opportunity up for  grabs. Facebook has been making tons of money with the data they\u2019re harvesting  from people using their social network. This data can be the gold mine for  advertisers and internet marketers who are looking for customers and people  preferences all over the web.<\/p>\n<p>There can only be no limit to the much-needed data that Facebook holds and  businesses all over the world knows that they NEED those data in order to expand  and sell well in the online world. So Facebook has taken the throne of data  gathering from real people everywhere. And those data that they have ain\u2019t just  any data.<\/p>\n<p>Those are data that go to specifics. Like what brand are these group  of people buying? What activities are popular in this part of the city? What  kind of car are preferred by this group of people? And it can go down to the  nitty-gritty stuff too such as what are the usual activities these group of  people do during this time of the day? And so on and so forth\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>The only \u2018personal data\u2019 Giant in town<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyone can see how powerful Facebook has become in accumulating real data  from real people in the real world and now Google wants a piece of that pie.  There has been rumors that Google is now developing a social network to rival  that of the current social networking giant.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah I know that it seems unlikely  that they\u2019ll topple off Facebook but who knows? And there are few options to go  as a social networker outside of Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The users of this new social networking site being developed by Google will  most probably be the Facebook drop-outs. A lot of people have issues with  Facebook\u2019s privacy concerns. For some people, what Facebook is doing is already  a bit more like \u2018stealing\u2019 private data that they allow Facebook to \u2018privately\u2019  have and blurting it out to businesses or using it for their own money-making  purposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook ain\u2019t your enemy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not antagonizing Facebook. I love Facebook and  I\u2019m a Facebook user and Facebook marketer as well. It\u2019s just that people are  starting to dislike how Facebook is using their power to abuse the data they\u2019re  getting from people. And that is a fact. And the scary thing now is: There is no  real alternative from the grandeur of Facebook when it comes to social  networking.<\/p>\n<p>So Google is now going to capitalize on this chance to catch the Facebook  drop-outs into its own up-coming social network. Let\u2019s hope that it\u2019s good and  that it can catch up with the constantly changing and updating Facebook. I\u2019m  sure to be one of the firsts to register on that social network. of course, not  only for personal purposes but for business as well.<\/p>\n<p>New social networks can only mean new opportunities for us internet marketers  and SEO specialists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips for Keeps:<\/strong> Keep an eye out for Google\u2019s new social  network project. When it comes out, it might be just the thing we\u2019re waiting for  to go head-to-head with Facebook. Change in the internet can only mean more  opportunities to those who know how to make their way through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve all used Facebook and Google in our lifetime.
