Google and Myspace vs Microsoft and Facebook

It’s Google and Myspace vs Microsoft and Facebook in a battle over who’ll dominate the online social network scene.

After yesterday's announcement that Google and Myspace announced plans to build applications using social network APIs called OpenSocial, developers can now write applications for smaller social network APIs.

According to an article in the LA Times, “software developers could now use a common technology standard Google had created to build features for MySpace users.”

Just hours ago, Slashdot reported that "starting tonight, developers can start writing applications using the social API for Orkut, MySpace, Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, Ning, Oracle, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING."

Just last week Microsoft had teamed up with Facebook, winning the right to invest in the fast growing social network site.

[social media helps improving alexa ranking?]

We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.

I think it's quite clear that face book has already won the game. They have all the students.

This is understandable that money can make us disembarrass. But how to act if someone does not have cash? The one way only is to receive the credit loans and just car loan.
