Topeka did change their name to Google but Google's name isn't going to change.

Yeah, but what I read was that it might change back in the future...

Oh, okay then.

I knew this was a joke all along.

I don't know if Topeka actually changed their name to Google, since on Google Maps I typed in Google, Kansas and nothing came up. I then typed in Topeka, Kansas and it came up normal.

They wont change there name on a map because its only changing its name temporarily.

Of course this is a fool. Google changing their name would be in the news... I don't think your aware of how much power the search engine has.

Hits has nothing to do with how popular or how much social power a site has. Seeing to the fact there's a movie named after google and a town named after google, I doubt facebook as anything on google. Facebook is going to die like Myspace did. Facebook is a social site, when your friends leave you'll leave. Google however will always be in business, not to mention how they own YouTube, but see the fact that human curiosity is endless, therefor google will always serve a purpose.

Actually, Your argument is invalid.....

Oh wow. You got me there! D;

The only thing that makes Facebook popular is Farmville.

The town point is questionable, but yes there was a movie, and the rest of my evidence is correct. Your evidence however does not exist.

Go knock yourself out. It also said on the news. And as for the Google movie...

(BTW, the name change was real)

Facebook get's more hits because you need to manually get there. Millions open firefox and the first thing they see is Google. I don't think your understanding this whole thing, sir. You see a hit is a rise in popularity, in order to get a hit you have to go from lower to higher. Facebook has just recently began to blow up, google has been on it's popularity trend for years. Grab hold of some internet Chub, now look around, on a ratio, what do you see more, facebook or google?

Google owns Youtube, Google owns business advertisements, Google offers stay at home jobs, Google offers a search engine ( The same engine Ask and Babylon run on). Google is an online empire, Facebook is a social site. Get back to me in two years when it dies like Myspace...

And as for that movie: http://www.googlemethemovie.com/


People who have no idea what they're talking about irritate me.

That's just the Google stats. The "I'll open Firefox and out comes Google" hits are unknown, me thinks.

It has 5 million people on line. I don't think it will die anytime soon.

It looks cheap.

Sorry about that. I'm just trying to make a point. Now, lets just stop this before it turns into a flame war.

I pity those who think Facebook won't fall. I mean, have we learned nothing from watching Myspace crumble directly in front of us?

I pointed out the movie because it had the Google trademark name in the title... they all talked about Google in the movie, not Topeka.

I don't know how this got into a Google vs. Facebook thing, but the competition doesn't really exist. Chub, do you really think Facebook is more popular then Google? Youtube is Google. That should be enough said.

Google is the internet. 'nuff said.
