Is "Google Me" Real?
The whole world is silently talking about it. With people like Kevin Rose (Digg's Co-Founder) & Adam D'Angelo (Facebook's former CTO) confirming the rumor to some extent; it's highly possible that Google has employed a large team to build a social network of its own to rival world's biggest social network - Facebook.
Facebook has already claimed the #1 spot in USA and is taking over all other rival social networks (viz. Orkut, Hi5, Myspace) in all other parts of the world. Facebook has already defeated Google in social networking domain and Google can't sit idle. Google is planning to use its huge array of social sites (YouTube, Docs, Orkut, Profiles, Latitude, Maps) to build a unified service called 'Google Me'.

However, even with its current properties, it is going to be very tough for Google to compete with Facebook. People have already set their homes in Facebook and they have their photos, videos, friends, groups all in Facebook. It would be tough for Google to pull them out of Facebook and make them active in 'Google Me'.
"They (Google) thought Facebook's growth will slow down with its size. But it did not happen. Now they are really scared.", said FB's former CTO Adam D'Angelo.
What are your thoughts on trying out another social network? Do you think Google will release "Google Me"? Will it be successful?
