Marc Andreessen’s blog post today has been great at helping to explain what Google’s drive around Open Social. After reading the post, I think Facebook may have found some competition for the first time.
Two important points to note: Yahoo & MySpace are not participating in the war on Facebook – and I do mean it’s a war, as just about everyone else is pushing for open standards (which I totally support!!).
Now the question is: Google & friends vs Facebook – who wins? It’s like the big question of Alien vs Predator in a way 
. I’m going to stick my neck out here, and say that I think Facebook has met it’s match and Open Social will eventually force them to comply with more open standards.
Who knows, maybe the big loser here is actually Microsoft with their $15bn valuation on Facebook!
Allow me to quote my favourite comedian, Russell Peters : “Somebody is going to get a hurt real bad!”
