Facebook is the reigning lord and master of social networking sites, right? Nothing can compare to it, correct? Well it might not be that way for much longer.
This is still an unconfirmed rumor, but Saturday June 26th, Digg founder Kevin Rose tweeted on Twitter that Google plans on launching "Google Me" in the very near future. Of course you can't say much with just 101 characters, but tech geeks worldwide took this nebulous quote and ran with it. Since then the most agreed upon idea is that Google is planning to expand the Google Profiles part of itself.
Right now Google Profiles represent how you appear on Google, and they don't contain a lot of info. But think of the possibilities with the amount of data that Google already has on you based on the apps you use. Aggregating all that info into a social networking experience would be a piece of cake for Google. And to add fuel to the rumor that's spread like wildfire on the Internet, Rick Klau, the developer who built the now defunct Google Buzz (Google's first social networking attempt) has been tapped to overhaul Google Profiles. If that's not an indicator of things to come, I don't know what is.
