How to beat Google? What if Facebook and Apple decide to join together?



This is just a thought but i might happen.

Yesterday on Facebook I read a post from Mark Zuckerberg: "I’m excited to announce that we’ve agreed to acquire WhatsApp and that their entire team will be joining us at Facebook"

Well, as online marketer, I have huge respect for Facebook and Mark :) (he helps me with paying my bills!!)
I am addicted to WhatsApp (don't use sms anymore) and I always wondered how these guys made money without advertising and without "using" users data (now I know!!!!).

On the other hand.. there is Google! Yes, Google helps me paying my bills.. BIG TIME! Google is always with me: my tablet, my browser, my maps, my Hangouts with my family and colleagues! Love it..

And then there is my mobile (which is not really a mobile device, given that the battery life is less than 3 hours when I use it): my IPhone 5: I use Google, WhatsApp, Facebook and more with it! 

So..what's the story?
The story is that whilst Google is the big big big boss of the Online Wonderland by owning Search, Hardware (Nexus, Motorola... Social (G+), Android, maps and more & more.... there is the "little" Facebook, ambitious enough to fight against the colossal Google - making the world more open and connected! (I personally adore the concept of social search).

Apple? they are cool, they used to be innovative.. but there is something missing now.. or maybe just somebody!

I have a vision: Facebook + Apple together against Google ... will this ever happen? Let's see...
