Look at you, Google, at it again.
Gchat’s on the heels of AOL Instant Messenger, and there’s no need for Microsoft Word when you’ve got Google Docs. So, of course, it’s only natural for the Internet giant to take over the world’s most popular social networking site, too.
In its most recent attempt to completely take over the Internet, Google launched Google Profiles, a social networking system with profiles eerily similar to those of Facebook.
But Google’s no fool. It knows it can’t compare to Facebook without some sort of edge – so it’s tapping into your vanity.
We’ve all done the ol’ first-plus-last name Google search, usually to be disappointed or embarrassed about whatever results are wielded. Now, once you make a profile, it will appear at the bottom of your search results, allowing you to show your future employer or newest love interest the real you.
Or at least as real as you can get on the Internet.
