There’s no doubt that Facebook is currently one of the leading social media sites and they’re constantly trying to discover ways to keep their users connected and engaged.

In a recent TechCrunch Disrupt conference, Mark Zuckerburg revealed that Facebook may implement a search engine based on their 1 billion daily search queries (1/3 of daily Google searches). Does Google face a possible threat coming their way? I mean, Facebook does carry the tools to recreate the social network scene. As Facebook is linked to a person’s social life, the possible searches could be like “What movie should I see tonight?” and the recommendations would be based on friends’ recent posts and location check-in’s. Even though I feel weird at the thought of Facebook becoming a search engine, I would personally go to a movie that my friend recommended than some movie review site.

With Google trying to enter Facebook’s domain with Google+, I think the lack of success was due to firm establishment that Facebook already has. You can even call it an obsession for Facebook, people are comfortable with it. Even though users may lean towards their friends’ opinions from Facebook search than Google+, I don’t think anyone could ever replace the rather infamous “Google it!” tagline.
