Will Google go after Twitter?
We talked about Google's social efforts. Last week they 'opened up' Social Search for the entire world. And today there is a blogpost up at Robert Scoble's blog in which he suggests that Google might be launching "a news feed that will compete with Facebook and Twitter." The discussion went to privacy and Foursquare: how much do you want people and Google to know about where you are.
