Which point motivated Facebook to engage a PR firm against Google?

Which point motivated Facebook to engage a PR firm against Google?

By Adrian Hon, The Daily Telegraph
Larry Page, co-founder and newly appointed CEO of Google, has had enough of the failures. Last month, he declared open war on Facebook by tying every single employee's bonus to the success of Google's social strategy. It's hard to imagine a clearer way to motivate its engineers; and it's easy to see why Facebook has decided to step up its PR attacks.
But how is this relevant to people who aren't glued to their computers? Oddly enough, the answer lies in a new advertisement from Google. In it, a father emails his daughter with videos and photos of her birth, first words, ballet lessons and lost teeth. It's a lovely ad that would draw a tear from any parent watching, and of course it shows off a whole array of Google products that will help you do the same thing for your kids.
The message is that Google can help you connect with your family in a way that is far superior to old-fashioned paper letters (and that it is certainly much more relevant to young people). The meaning is that Google wants access to your emails, photos, videos and memories, because then it can advertise to you via those services and keep you on its websites. If this seems like a chilling vision of the future, it's worth reflecting that Facebook already does this right now.
The battle between Facebook and Google is about who has control of our lives online. And for those who have never lived in a world without the Internet, there's no distinction between online and offline.

Microsoft Bing goes social with Facebook data!

In its latest move to gain further market share in internet search, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) has rolled out social search features in its Bing search engine. The social data is sourced from Facebook, the world's largest and most popular social network, and includes links friends have recommended.

Bing users who are searching for a news story, a movie or a hotel are able to see if their friends have 'liked' it on Facebook.

Microsoft research found that 90% of people surveyed seek advice from friends and family before making a decision. By enhancing Bing search results with Facebook connections, the software company is hoping to leverage such relationships to deliver more relevant search answers.

The additional features were announced on the official Bing blog on Monday. Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President, Bing & MSN at Microsoft, commented: "Today, Bing is bringing the collective IQ of the Web together with the opinions of the people you trust most, to bring the “Friend Effect” to search".

Since launching Bing in June 2009, Microsoft has built the product into a credible alternative to Google. Combined with traffic from a search agreement with Yahoo!, Bing now carries about 30% of searches in the US, according to ComScore.

Facebook Vs. Google : A war for nothing

Facebook appointed a higher PR(Public Relation) firm to educate the journalists about what google is treating about your private information.The name of the PR company is Burson-Marsteller.You can blame Burson-Marsteller for its step to this stupid plan.Also it is not clear that a network like Facebook why did this rookie mistake.

The concept is simple.You cannot do an workshop and cannot expect for your good performance in the competition in the race.Rater you can highlight on your services to your users and make plan to improve it. 
Google social circle is not a new thing which people have used for a couple of years.It was introduced in 2009 when Google unveiled its social search experiment.At that time this thing was described well.You also need a google account also to connect through it.

Howcome Google can make your private information insecured where you have your own tools to privatize which part of information you want to show to the world in your public profile.
So the conclusion may be written as Facebook should apologize for its poor judgment.
