Google This, Google That… What Happened to MSN and Yahoo??

You know, Google seems, wait no… Google IS everywhere. And the latest buzz now is how they are going to take over social media as we discuss in SEO Networker – how they are implementing Google Friend Connect, OpenSocial, FOAF, XFN and how they are following publicly declared connections, social network activity, etc.

My question is this, what are MSN and Yahoo doing? I can’t imagine them laying low in this battle of the search engines, can they?

And if they are, think of the implications, can you say utter and complete Google takeover *ahem* monopoly? After all, social media is the wave of the future and if MSN and Yahoo don’t get in that game, they may not be able to compete with Google period.

And what would THAT mean?

And if they ARE taking measures to ensure Google doesn’t get TOO far of them, then what are MSN and Yahoo (quietly) brewing?

Can you imagine them snickering in their underground labs creating some social media tool that will absolutely blow Google away, all the while all the spotlight is focused on Google? How awesome would that be?

For MSN and Yahoo’s sake, I hope that’s what they are doing…
