Verifiable Prediction
Will Google OpenSocial gain more market share than Facebook in 2008?
goog ( Score Rank: #30 based on predictions in the last 30 days ) goog  |  will close on 01-Jan-2009 (29 days from now)
After losing the Facebook bid to Microsoft, Google respond by introducing a huge platform called OpenSocial. It is an API that allows developer to write social network app once and have it work on multiple sites. Will OpenSocial be able to gain enough momentum in 2008 to have more market share (in US social networking sector) than Facebook?

    and again, oilman, I agree - facebook is moving rapidly towards being a VERY profitable company, they are what I call successfull post-innovators (meaning they monitor the trends from the early stage, and take advantage right on time, because they are very "mobile" and flexible against google who are losing their youthful pace). opensocial project was a reaction to facebook's moves with socialads and project beacon, and hardly they will catch up... my vote to zuckerberg

    A Microsoft guy who buys the facebook api concept more than OpenSocial. His analysis is a bit biased, but very comprehensive.

    Anyways, it is too hard for Google to gain more market share than such hot site, not even for Google...

    Nothing is impossible. I say Google, if poured enough money into it, will stand a chance... to be No.3 LOL.
