With your Gmail account have you ever tried to find friends on facebook? Well in this article Google is making it known that they are not helping anymore. It seems that Google is no longer helping with finding friends on social networking sites because Google itself is trying to make one themselves. From what has been written it seems that Google would like to share, that being facebook users could get their information only if, with the users confirmation, that Google could get facebook contacts in return. Google makes the case that they have helped facebook grow to what it has become today. Google seems to say that the real reason they want to "join forces" is to expand social networking opportunities. This could be try, or is it just another way of getting users to join yet another network, but also letting our information transfer into yet another persons hands. We have talked in class about how it seems that networks are categorizing what we like to give us more. Amazon, iTunes, facebook even suggests friends that we might know. In a way having facebook help Google could become a very good thing but at the same time, how much information are we as a society willing to give up to the global network?
