                    Up until a few weeks ago, comparing Facebook and Google was like comparing apples to oranges. Even though both their revenues depend almost entirely on advertisement, both giants did it in a different way, said John Wirtz, assistant professor of public relations at Texas Tech University.
Google entered the world of social networking for the third time about a month ago with a site called Google + (Google Plus).
Since its birth on June 28, Google + has 20 million users, which makes it the fastest growing social network ever, said Brian Solis, a principal analyst at Altimeter group, a business research and consulting group based in San Mateo, Calif., and author of “Engage,” a guide for businesses to use the Internet.

It took Facebook a little more than three years to reach the 20-million mark. So with such a great start some have already called Google + the “Facebook Killer,” while others think it is too early to know, those who watch social media have said.
