Interesting on thoughts about Facebook and Google

Facebook stocks up for Google fight has some interesting thoughts about how Facebook and Google compete:

---------
"It gives Facebook the ability to roll out more services," Gartner technology analyst Michael Gartenberg said. "It's going to be harder for companies to compete with Facebook."


Facebook, in its filing for an initial public offering, cited Microsoft and Twitter as competitors but made it clear its chief rival is Google.


"We compete broadly with Google's social networking offerings, including Google+," Facebook said of the social network launched by Google which has attracted 90 million users to Facebook's more than 800 million.


"Some of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater resources and better competitive positions in certain markets than we do," Facebook said.


At first glance, Google would appear to have the upper hand.
