Chalk Talk: Will Facebook sink Google?


A few weeks ago I wrote about Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s interview with The Wall Street Journal, where he stated that he didn’t see Facebook as a competitor to Google (see “Don’t Hit Anything You Can’t See”). My observation was that Schmidt was either being naïve or coy about his firm’s strategy (I believe the latter). On Nov. 15, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of a new messaging service, which will provide users with an "@facebook.com" email address and will integrate a user’s email, Facebook messaging, instant messaging, and SMS text.

I agree with Zuckerberg that this won’t kill Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc...
