Google and Facebook Rivalry Takes Centerstage.

An article by Alexei Oreskovic describes brewing rivalry between Google and Facebook. The competition between the two billion dollar corporations has intensified since Facebook introduced a plans to release a new version of its messenger - that could challenge Gmail. I know both Gmail and Facebook have huge numbers of users so it will be interesting to see if the Facebook email will develop a following like Gmail has. I remember when Myspace developed an email technology. From what I remember it flopped. But maybe in this time of a convergence a social networking site may be able to create a successful emailing technology.
