The Web vs. Facebook

Yesterday at the Web 2.0 summit, Jeff Huber of Google stated that “over 100,000 sites have already embedded Google Gadgets, with 63 of them attracting more than one million active users a week.” Additionally, in taking a shot against Facebook, Huber said, “a lot that you have heard here is about platforms and who is going to win. That is Paleolithic thinking. The Web has already won. The web is the Platform. So let’s go build the programmable Web.”

Watch out Facebook, Google is gunning for you! Given that Facebook is a closed system, it is pretty impressive that there are over 50 applications with more than 100,000 daily users.
