"Google+Facebook"

Google is now betting that Google+, which already has more than 10 million users, will directly compete with Facebook, which has more than 750 million in the rapidly growing social networking industry. While most would prefer to allow a simple importing of Facebook friends, photos and other personal information into Google+, that in fact violates Facebook's terms of service. 

An Israeli company has developed an application that allows users of the newly launched social networking site Google+ to also view their streams from sector leader Facebook. Called "Google+Facebook", the application was developed by Crossrider. Crossrider's application, which is free, just adds an icon to Google+, where users can view their Facebook pages.

Koby Menachemi, Co-Founder & Chief Executive, Crossrider said, "The product is not perfect, yet one can view (Facebook) streams and update his status while on Google+. It's a site within a site and the company would be willing to make improvements. If users want a feature to post updates on both networks, we will. If they want to comment on their Facebook screen, we will do it."

He claimed that the popularity of the Google+Facebook application has been higher than expected.
