The two giants are competing for a long time, but this time the battle should take a new turn. Indeed, Google has taken the decision to prevent access to Facebook user data that are enrolled in services such as the popular gmail.

Thus, it will not be possible to automatically import contacts from Google to Facebook, which makes the service far less attractive and FB will cause a loss of time to manually enter the addresses . However, Google may not show whether restricting it, he proposes to maintain the possibility of automatic import of contacts, as long as Facebook does the same, which until now was not the case: we might well put his contacts from gmail addresses on facebook profile and send invitations, but the Internet using FB could not find the social network contacts in their Google Account.

An inequality which requires reciprocity, as the No. 1 search engine. For the No. 1 social network, which uses the data stored on Google without allowing access to his own, was a boon so far as it could increase its registrants who are over 500 million .

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, did not react immediately but specialists believe the war to the growing power of the person or persons who own and manage the connections, data and correspondence billion Internet users, has actually good start. If Facebook offers the services of mail and messaging, is walking on the flower beds of Google (and other providers like Yahoo, MSN, etc.), which could not remain without reaction because at stake is enormous.

In any case, users should be very careful in setting their parameters and awareness of the importance of the information they entrust on Facebook.
