Facebook Search: Gaining ground fast  

Posted by Anonymous in , , ,

Facebook's search function which provides web results inside of the Facebook application has now outpaced AOL for a greater share of the search market and is close behind Ask.com. This presents both a threat and an opportunity to Microsoft's Bing search product as Facebook (of which Microsoft has a 240M stake)could overtake Bing in it's overall share of the search market. If Microsoft capitalizes on it's investment and strikes a deal to serve Facebook search results, it could be a huge although expensive win against Google.

if Microsoft worked a deal with face book to incorporate there Bing search engine i think that would definitely affect to market share Google has. But is Google thinking about doing something similar?

I feel like most things have outpaced AOL. I remember Aol being the leading site on the Internet early on and now you don't hear as much about AOL compared to Google or Facebook, so i am not surprised Facebook has surpassed AOL's share of the search market. Facebook and Google are the two dominant sites in my opinion and i think that they will continue to dominate for some time.
