Big Phone Makers Shift to [Google's] Android - NYTimes http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
"Indeed, a J. D. Power & Associates survey found that Windows Mobile had the lowest satisfaction rating among customers of any smartphone operating system.

Facebook Now Accounts For 1 In 4 Internet PVs vs Google (1 in 12) - http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-b...
I don't see why Google would be so concerned about this. The websites have completely different purposes. If I want to find image processing algorithms in python, I go to google. If I want to see what somebody I talked to a couple times in high school had for breakfast, I go to facebook. - Robert Felty
Remember Google's mission? To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Facebook deliberately keeps lots of information away from Google. Users can't make their profile information searchable - even if they want to. Facebook is not playing on Google's side. - Tim Tyler
This is no surprise. Google's goal is to get you off Google's site and to where the information lives. - Piaw Na
Yes/No. one of out 4 Google searches is on Youtube now - and check slide 41 on this presentation: http://bit.ly/2yZH3d; look at the way people spend time and how much that changed. What if FB could offer Google type search but layer it with all the rich data from FB - Google doesn't have that choice, but FB does - I don't think it's as simple as you think... - Aydin Senkut
