Google will lose to Facebook????

This is "news" to me.

I don't see how this is going to happen but it's being predicted.

Google will lose to Facebook????

According to Elowitz, yes. Google is vulnerable precisely because its dataset is, as he puts it, "dead." Its search algorithm analyzes the pages and links that users have left behind, but it has almost no first-hand knowledge of any of the users who created this content. The users are all anonymous. Facebook, on the other hand, "has created a platform that knows more than 600 million people, complete with identity, interests, and activities online." Writes Elowitz:

I can't imagine that I would go to Facebook to do searches on tech stuff like
programming.
