                          This is what I was thinking too.

                          There's no mention of wave in the article and it almost seems like "too much at once" to be rolling out Wave and another socialization product at the same time.

                          Personally Wave seems a bit much to me, I don't know if it really meets a need, but I guess time will tell on that.

                                  Google will take down Facebook. Mail IS the social network!

                                          Google is continually launching, acquiring, and refining a collection of tools that can go way deeper than Facebook at connecting people. For example,

                                          - Reader, it's so more a social media tool than a simple RSS aggregator
                                          - Profile, there's your "who am I" page
                                          - Mail, well, mail-- and today it will become Twittery
                                          - YouTube, social video
                                          - and so on

                                          Once you get all the tools in place, you just need a "Kill Facebook" switch in Gmail -- and a benign little link in google.com -- that funnels users to a "Google Network" page, where they see a dashboard view of all the social media/network tools.

                                          The nerds hop on the train today, and the normals show up at the station tomorrow.

                                                  I can see Gmail being converted to GWave in the near future. I won't really likeit, but i'll get used to it I guess... 6 years of e-mail there.. I can't switch now!

                                                                      - YouTube, social video

                                                                      Once you get all the tools in place, you just need a "Kill Facebook" switch in Gmail -- and a benign little link in google.com -- that funnels users to a "Google Network" page, where they see a dashboard view of all the social media/network tools.

                                                                      The nerds hop on the train today, and the normals show up at the station tomorrow.

Myspace, Bebo have been around a long time and its hard to get surfers to change from something they are familiar and comfortable with using. I think Google will have a hard time converting people from facebook ect

It dosent matter how many new tools there are to use all they want is something that is user freindly and not confusing. Look at twitter its very simple but it does what people want it to do. Its a different story if you are a webmaster and want to monetise the users then we want as many tools as possible.

                                                                              100% agreed. Remember when MySpace was the king of the hill? Friendster before that? Facebook poached a ton users from MySpace by offering a more uniform look and feel, a huge improvement over MySpace's absurd, skinnable interface. And then, if you weren't on Facebook already, your friends were, and you followed shortly thereafter.

                                                                              I think that Google's suite of social tools will be unified by Buzz, and slowly but surely users will migrate from Facebook to Buzz, if not only because the same friends that they painstakingly added to FB are _already_ in their Gmail address book.

                                                                              Yep, not everyone is on Gmail, but as I offered before, the nerds will get on the train today and the normals will be in the station tomorrow.

                                                                              Google is just plain bigger and smarter than Facebook, and they can beat them at their own game. Today's move is just a small step in a strategy that has been orchestrated for quite some time now, and I think that in 16 months, Facebook will be dethroned.

                                                                                                          Although I'm quite aware of Google's awesomeness, I believe this will take some time to catch on, if it does at all.

                                                                                                          Look at Google Wave, for example. I got my invite in the first batch of tech offerings, but I can literally count the number of times that I've logged into it. They lured many techies to the Google Wave interface with their demo, but many, including myself, were quite disappointed that the majority of cool features were and still are only accessible in the sandbox.

                                                                                                          They might have money and the resources, but they're too late, in my opinion.

                                                                                                          I never liked MySpace, but yet love Facebook and Twitter.

                                                                                                          Unless they provide some way of porting over established relationships that have been built over twitter and facebook (and the ease of use), Google buzz will be average at best.

                                                                                                          And that's coming from a Google fan.

                                                                                                                      The nerds hop on the train today, and the normals show up at the station tomorrow.

Whole families are on it, I don't see some gmail buzz changing that. Everyone hyped about twitter, and the nerds jumped on it, and growth stalled. They have a looooong way to go to ever get near facebook.

                                                                                                                          google like microsoft is starting to chase everyone else, from their cellphone that should of been the next big thing and now this buzz crap.

                                                                                                                                      It's a very different beast and has the potential to take email, particularly their email, to a great new level.

                                                                                                                                      But it's not a social site, competitor in the social site world or anything like that. It's a different beast entirely.

Today's move is just a small step in a strategy that has been orchestrated for quite some time now, and I think that in 16 months, Facebook will be dethroned.

                                                                                                                                                          No I dont think facebook will ever be dethroned I think it will change over time and as some other people have said they should have purchased Facebook and not tried to copy it. Love it or hate it Facebook is gonna be around for a very long time because users love it
