Google is expected to announce this week that they are looking for a piece of the Facebook pie. No longer happy with the Search Engine or Cell phone business Google is now looking at adding Facebook type features to it’s Gmail platform.
Since Facebook is currently adding a “Messenger” type service to its platform Google is looking to counter that move. Google already allows its’ Gmail users to leave short “status updates” much like Twitter and Facebook. Google is planning on allowing these messages to aggregate, which will create a stream of notifications.
Since Gmail currently has over 150,000,000 users it will be interesting to see how this unfold over the next year or two.
