An announcement in both google’s and facebook official blogs, states that “for now” facebook wont be able to work with google’s friendConnect because of the violation and security restrictions that friendConnect implies letting web programmers and API developers in knowing users privacy details and delicate data that doesn’t complie with FaceBook Privacy policy. It seems that website collaboration is starting to get ahead really fast, take the example of FaceBook: Facebook Connect will allow users to drag their profile and/or applications to any third party website and interlink with that website. Facebook uses Digg.com as an example. Digg users who also use Facebook will be able to keep track of the stories their friends had dugg or commented on.
With the increased offer of online business optimization companies, search engine marketing and optimization consultants, studios, agencies and firms, it seems no surprise that the same “creators” of the services that started this keyword battle, would open doors to offer their OWN services combo towards services in the search business.

We thinkg this is something that only SERPS and conversion results will define.
