I'm actually surprised Google is trying to compete with Facebook. Their whole premise is they develop products outside the realm of chasing someone else's product or service. This is what separates them from every other company out there.
To me, this decision is WAY too late, as the article points out. You can't win the game when you haven't even been on the field for the majority of the match. This is going to be a HUGE blunder and cost them dearly. Dropping a ton of cash and effort into chasing a dead horse is going to come back and haunt them. I give Page about 2 years tops before they pull the plug on him.
