However much is in your Facebook, it ain't a new Google

| Facebook's expansion has already prompted some daft speculation about whether 
| it will be the 'next Microsoft' or 'the next Google'. These feverish ravings  
| were given an additional boost last Thursday when Facebook made its first 
| acquisition - of a mysterious outfit called Parakey whose website is a model 
| of bland understatement. 'Computers are frustrating,' it burbles. 'Creating 
| documents, finding files, sharing information - why do everyday things still 
| seem so tedious and counterintuitive? We hope that Parakey will make your 
| life easier.' And that's it.
