Google to launch 'Google Me', a Facebook competitor?
London: In a bid to give competition to Facebook, Google is likely to introduce 'Google Me', its own social networking site. Although it is a rumour, but it has come from a very credible source, said Kevin Rose, the Founder of Digg to The Telegraph. According to technology sites, Mashable and TechCrunch, the search giant has been commissioning research into social networking habits, as preparation for the new launch. Google has reportedly been researching social networking patterns in order to create one of its own. According to TechCrunch, the study will be taking place at Google's Dublin office and will take 60 minutes with pollsters receiving 60 Euros per survey. TechCrunch's Leena Rao said, "While the survey doesn't confirm the existence of 'Google Me', it certainly is another piece of evidence pointing in that direction."
