Google Social Networking - The Social Networking Option

By Phil Guye


When it comes to Internet, Google seems to be the biggest. Although there was one part of the Internet that Google wasn't involved in and that was social networking, however they are now trying their hand at social networking as well. As Google has become the biggest in its field in many areas on the Internet including search engines, email and paid advertising, they will also aim at being the biggest in social networking.

Social networking websites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are really popular worldwide and in fact they've turn out to be quite a phenomenon. These social websites provide a fantastic opportunity for people to connect with others around the globe. People can connect with their friends, their family, the work colleagues and businesses can use these sites to reach out to new customers. There are literally millions of people worldwide that use social networking websites and now many businesses are also using them as part of their marketing plan.

So where does Google fit into the social networking scene? Google has now joined the game using its very own social networking website called 'Orkut'. It sound strange but it will sure become common as this networking site becomes more popular on the Internet.

Orkut has become very popular in Asia and also in Latin America and is now also gaining in popularity in the United States. As with any project that Google embarks on, they are working hard at making their social networking site one of the biggest on the Internet. Google is targeting Orkut to dominate the social networking market so they can have the same success, or even more, as Facebook and other social network sites have had. Orkut is continuing to grow incredibly in popularity in China and Japan and has more than 11 million visitors in just one month alone.

Facebook is certainly one of the biggest, if not the biggest, social networking site on earth and only time will tell if Google's Orkut will have the same success and become as big as Facebook. One thing for sure is that Google never do anything by half measures and they'll give this project the attention it deserves to be able to succeed. Google has proven time and time again that they can be very competitive in the strongest of markets.

While other social networking sites like Facebook are capitalizing on this popular market, Google are really spending so much time to get in on the action. If Google can provide its members something enticing then there's no reason why they won't be successful in the social networking market. If you already have a Google account then you're already midway through the registration process with Orkut so why don't you go ahead and sign up to Orkut and start using this new social networking website to your advantage.
