In my point of view, Google is king in valuable information (just like knowledge or things you're interested in, that you always want more and more) and Facebook is king in social information (what you're not always interested in but you usually feel sorry when missing it). It's hard to say what kind of information is more important just like it;s hard to say wether Google or Facebook is worth more than the other.


Search is practically necessary for using the web. Social networking websites are neither necessary for using the web nor for socializing.


Yes, true. But, I think, social networking websites was born just due to lacking of social interaction (among real relationships) on web while people was spending more and more time on it for searching valuable information. Facebook just brings social information in real life on web and make social interaction much easier (although I think it only keeps us further away from real life).

Seriously though, it's great that we live at a point in time where it's possible to have a choice between two damn good mobile computing platforms.

Feel safe if you're redirected to the twitter page to login, for that is OAuth.


This's exactly what I want. I also built a web based one with PHP but the performance is not good enough for real time.


That could be right! I thought so.
