Re-posted from TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/25/facebook-to-release-a-like-button-for-the-whole-darn-internet/ Steve Thommes - March 27th, 2010 at 12:20 am UTC Seriously? Look, whenever I read a comment that goes something like “uh, how are they going to make money on this…” I sort of smile and shudder at the same time. I work for Google, and I love Google, more than most: I wear Google socks for chrissakes. Officially, I don’t have an opinion one way or the other regarding Facebook even though everyone knows “social networking is not competitive with paid search”. My 7 year old does have an opinion: he can’t wait to be a 13 year old. Because. he. wants. to. Facebook. When he’s 13, for all practical purposes, and for most people on the planet, Facebook may not only be the Face of the Internet. It. will. be. the. Internet. It’s already 7% now. And today when I look around the dual computer screens inside the Googleplex, I sure see a lot of Facebook. Add Comment | Talk with others about your interests and passions.
