Many sites in the past would rely solely on search engines to get their traffic. More recently the social media has played a very important roll to bring the traffic.
If facebook had to develop a search engine it could overtake google. Do you think they have plans to do this in the near future?
Facebook could easily incorporate a search engine onto it's site but then it would go head on with google and I don't know if these two giants really want to slug it out. Google has expanded into all the areas of the internet, while Facebook still is the same as when it was created.I just heard a few months ago a quote.. it was something like that for the first time, Facebook sent more traffic to outside websites than Google did.
Developing an actual search engine is very easy to do technically. The guy from duckduckgo which gets a good deal of traffic and has excellent search results created the site in a very short time with only a few million dollars. It would be trivial for someone the size of Facebook to add a search engine to their interface.
These really are the giants of the IT sector, kind of like Shell when you're taking about the oil and petrol industry. For the everyday individual, we can't even imagine how much these companies are worth, and like I said, when we're talking about take overs if one of these companies get involved, they've got the funds to take over and swallow up any other company in their sector.
