Facebook Tends To Become Your Homepage! – Attempt To Beat Google at Its Own Game? (Detail of Google-Facebook Rivalry)

Facebook is about to introduce a new tool, which will aim to convince its huge number of users to set Facebook.com as their browser’s homepage. It's barely any strange move, considering its scenario and taking a glimpse at the building leading to this day It is a very interesting move, by Facebook. While simultaneously, Facebook is implementing its own emailing service in phases, it gaurds itself from losing its grip on user data, this move demonstrates the Facebook's desire of sweeping its rivals.

If Facebook successfully persuades its user to use the social networking website as the homepage for their browsers, it will be displacing the reign of another Internet giant ‘Google,’ in that place. Surprisingly enough, some Facebook users have already reportedly seen a "Make Facebook Home" button at their facebook home pages. Their tag line in this new tool tends to convince users, as they again use their power of socialism in this factor, by attracting them to keep more in contact with their facebook friends and family. One such tag line reported is "See what's happening with Stephanie, Kim, and the rest of your friends the moment you open your browser," where the names seems to be your most recently contacted friends on Facebook.

When inquired about this advancement, Facebook did not replied right away. But it's only natural that Facebook attempts to intrigue in the area where Google is so indefinitely influential. An analyst made a valuable argument saying "The future of search is social...We can’t underestimate Facebook search," and implied that "Google has long dominated search and the behemoth of a company is showing its age and its weaknesses. Even though Google is experimenting with integrating social into traditional search results, its algorithm is in dire need of a human touch — a human algorithm.” But that’s only one analyst’s point of view.

Whereas, on the other hand, many claim that Facebook is slowly, though surely, improving its search feature. Which now rather than ssimply displaying results within the social network, now also finds proffered results from around the Web, where they have the advantage of using the actions of your friends — as part of the platform, in helping them to point out the best search results.

 And search is just one tool Facebook hopes to reinvent atop its site. "Most industries are going to be rethought to be social and designed around people," Mark Zuckerberg said last week. "This is the whole evolution we've seen at Facebook." Some of this, he said, will come from third parties — Facebook is also a development platform — and some will come from Facebook itself. Some will happen on Facebook, and in other cases, Facebook will exert its influence on third-party sites, through its Facebook Connect set-up.

A very interesting recognition was made during a discussion which pointed out that Facebook is working tirelessly to not only steel users from Google search to Facebook search but also attracting to users from Gmail to Facebook Messaging, a suspected switch from Google Voice to Facebook with Skype, from Google Latitude to Facebook Places, from Google Docs to Facebook with Microsoft Office.  And these services, no matter how tempting they are, cannot be used to predict whether how many people would actually switch in fashion. Facebook is definitely in attempt to beat Google at its own game.
