7 Ways Google can Establish Itself in Social Networking


5. Understand and Measure Social Advertising

Google Analytics is currently doing it for Google but there is a need to make it more robust and integrate it to the social ecosystem. Considering the large advertising network which Google has, social attribution would be very profitable for it, probably more than Facebook.
