除“原料”之外，廚房、廚師、烹調手法、火力、食客、結帳，等等都不同，問題是招牌是一樣就容易產生“誤會”了。

Facebook surpasses Google as top website of 2010
Washington Post
Facebook trumps Google as America's top website, indicating a shift in Internet use.
This may go down as the year that social networking trumped searching as America's favorite online pastime.
In 2010, Facebook pushed past Google to become the most popular site on the Internet for the first time, according to two Web tracking firms. The title caps a year of rapid ascent for Facebook in which the social network hit 500 million users and founder Mark Zuckerberg was named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
It also marks another milestone in the ongoing shift in the way Americans spend their time online, a social change that profoundly alters how people get news and interact with one another - and even the definition of the word "friend."
Since its inception, the service has evolved beyond a vehicle for sharing photos and reconnecting with high school classmates to become a universe unto itself, where users can watch videos, solicit restaurant recommendations and play games surrounded (at least virtually) by friends and family. Its rise suggests that the influence of search giants such as Google, which answer search queries with a complicated algorithm for ranking links, is giving way to something more personal: our network of friends and other connections.
"This is the most transformational shift in the history of the Internet," said Lou Kerner, a social media analyst with Wedbush Securities and former chief executive of Bolt.com, an early networking site. "We're moving from a Google-centric Web to a people-centric Web."
According to Experian Hitwise, Facebook jumped to the top spot after spending 2009 in third place and 2008 ranked ninth. The company found that 8.9 percent of unique online visits were to Facebook this year, compared with Google's 7.2 percent.
"There is a strong point of view held by a lot of people that Facebook communication is more superficial," said David Kirkpatrick, journalist and author of The Facebook Effect. "It's certainly more cursory, but that doesn't make it less significant or meaningful. It's just easier, and that's why it's so popular."
A survey in the summer by the Nielsen Co. found that Americans spent nearly 23 percent of their time online using social networks, up from about 16 percent in a 2009 poll. Social networking took up more time than any other activity, including e-mail, which experienced a decline. Searching took up just less than 4 percent of time online, according to the survey.
Consumers use Google to get to other places, but they log on to Facebook to stay. That helped Facebook account for roughly a quarter of online page views in November, significantly outpacing Google, Hitwise said.
But there is one key area in which Facebook has yet to surpass Google: revenue. The search giant recorded nearly $24 billion in sales this year. Several news reports put Facebook's revenue at $800 million in 2009, and the company is expected to bring in about $1 billion in 2010 - though how profitable the site is remains in question.
Zuckerberg, also the chief executive, has said he eventually plans to take the company public, and the timing is the subject of hot debate among investors. According to SharesPost, an exchange for shares of private companies, Facebook is worth more than $45 billion. Google's market value is more than four times that amount. ▲ Collapse

pk,
Happy New Year to you.
That's all fine and dandy. But, in a capitalistic society, revenue and profits are the only things that really count.
Facebook would likely face fierce competition from QQ if it ever tries to enter the Chinese market. QQ has a tremendous established base; so, IMO, it would be an uphill battle for Facebook all the way.

google 的民间译名是“股沟”。
“谷歌”一名随着 google 欲走还留的退出，随着开复李全面本地化努力的失败，差不多也渐被放弃了。
开复李离开谷歌之后，写了几本励志的书，卖得不错；建了个叫“创新工场”的公司，也没见创新出来什么东西。“创新工场”这名字真怪，叫“创新”的搞创新的公司，名字可一点都不创新啊，听起来像卖雪糕的叫自己的雪糕“雪糕”牌雪糕。
