Now a days it's the virtual world every where. Anything that happens in real world happens here -we make friends,some of us find our first(even second,third..)love, we can listen to celebrities(if lucky we can even talk to them... ) and we also sometimes hear the clinkering breakage of hearts. It's the web world - the web 2.0 - the social media. Facebook and Twitter are no doubt the pioneers in this part of world. With their user base, they may be just behind China and India in terms of population.

Some Amazing Facebook Stats

The Above Stats speaks volumes about the strength of Facebook

And moreover Facebook, the largest social networking site set out its stall to unseat Google and be at the heart of the web experience as it becomes more social. It has already  overtaken Google as the most visited US website.

Facebook unveiled a series of products at its developer conference F8 aimed at helping the company achieve the goal of being more social . These tools will make it easier for users to take their friends with them as they browse the web. 

"We are building toward a web where the default is social," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder. In the blog post he said "Today at our third f8, we are making it so all websites can work together to build a more comprehensive map of connections and create better, more social experiences for everyone. We have redesigned Facebook Platform to offer a simple set of tools that sites around the web can use to personalize experiences and build out the graph of connections people are making."
 

About the new tools Facebook Connect page says - "You'll find a personal and social experience the moment you arrive on our select partner sites -- Microsoft Docs.com, Pandora, and Yelp. We're working closely with these partners so you can quickly connect with your friends and see relevant content on their sites. These sites personalize your experience using your public Facebook information."

At the F8 conference in San Francisco, Mr Zuckerberg unveiled a number of products aimed at putting users and their friends at the "centre of the web".
 

Facebook says it will serve 1 billion "Likes" on the web in 24 hours

The most significant was an open graph protocol to let publishers tag their content by type along with a "Like" button that partner sites put on their webpage. This allows users to indicate what they like on a website, be it from photographs to news items and from clothes to music.
 

That information will then be stored by Facebook the way it already stores connections between people. At the same time any website will be able to take those individual preferences and use them to tailor a more "personalised online experience" for the user and their friends.

Facebook said this means its members will see a web that caters to their individual tastes. Crucially all this can only happen when users are logged into Facebook and "makes it easy to make any page (on the internet) a Facebook page," said Bret Taylor, Facebook's director of platform.

So what does this mean for Google, the world's most powerful internet company with billions of users who access the web using hyperlinks? It's more than obvious that this is a direct battle between Facebook and Google. Already Facebook has made enough strides in this field. Google tried in various ways like Google Waves, which gathered initial hype and later subdued into some lesser known world ( I hardly remember by my Google Wave account credentials after getting registered  )

What this looks like is a power grab. Facebook is making a play to become the single-sign-on and social-sharing engine for every major site on the Net. Call it the FaceWeb.
