Facebook is challenging Google's supremacy on the internet with a radically different approach to how people live, work, play and search online.  While Google delivers search results selected by algorithms that take into account a user's web history, Facebook boasts a richer level of personalisation based on one's own "likes" and the recommendations of Facebook friends.  What do you think people...Is Facebook becoming the Second Internet??

the major internet users are teenagers, and now fb is very common and highlighted among them. now days i have seen that if a guy is not having a fb account then he feels humiliating among there friends. everything has its peak point and bottom line. now fb is at its peak but a day will come it will fall. as now we are seeing that graph of orkut is falling day by day.

I think yes....what we've found in facebook is that when you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about they tend to be more engaging. The social graph which Mark zuckerberg refers to..The social graph is incredibly broad "It includes not only what you do and what you like but people you know and what they like and the companies you interact with."

Facebook is constructing a parallel network built around the interactions of its more than 500 million members. I would really like to refer Facebook as the second internet, maybe more valuable than the first because we're all interconnected on it.

many interesting networking websites became famous at their era and facebook is in its era and some other may come after this. So this can't become the second internet.
