Google vs. Facebook

Developers ' interest in Google's social assets is not so much a matter of a relationship with Google + as it is with the network effects of its services, a comparison of Google's total assets with Facebook's social graph. Google has search, YouTube videos, gmail emails, Google Maps, the Android harsh App Store, Google Play store, Google Docs, AdMob advertising platform, plus social services. Facebook has a social atlas, an open atlas, a large number of user data, an ad platform and 425 million of mobile users.
