Google rolling out Facebook competitor – Google Me


There have been several reports around the net that Google is going to be releasing their Facebook competitor soon called ‘Google Me’.

Yahoo already has a twitter like service – Yahoo MeMe which sounds a little the same.

Kevin Rose the Founder of Digg tweeted the following statement:

Ok, umm, huge rumor: Google to launch facebook competitor very soon “Google Me”, very credible sourceless than a minute ago via Tweetie for Mac

I’d consider Kevin a creditable source in the social/web tech industries.

Google Buzz has not been a success mainly due to the privacy issues they created for themselves – sharing personal user details without permission.

This is a very interesting move by Google, but i think the world is already set in our ways with Facebook.

It is rumored that the Google Me social network will be tracked by your smartphone or tablet PC/computer.
