Google Social Network Rumors Continue To Grow
By: Courtney Mills 2010-07-13 We know how much an impact Facebook has had on Google lately, especially with the news of a new Facebook search engine. Now we hear that Google might be developing... ... its own social network. TechCrunch reports that Google is conducting focus groups to gather information about consumers online social habits. The study will take place in Googles Dublin offices and the questions will focus around social networking as it relates both to real life (offline) and online. Leena Rao from TechCrunch was able to get her hands on some of the questions in the study, including: In the past 3 days, which of the following methods have you used outside of work to communicate with your friends and family (if any)? * In the last 2 weeks, how often have you accessed your "primary" social networking site (if any)? * In the last week, which of the following websites have you posted content to (if any)? In the past 3 days, which of the following search engines have you used (if any)? * In the past 2 months, which of the following types of things have you searched for online (if any)? * Digg CEO Kevin Rose recently tweeted that hed heard a "huge rumor" that Google was planning to launch a Facebook competitor called "Google Me." While the survey doesnt confirm the existence of "Google Me," it certainly does help strengthen the rumour.
