I was under the impression that google did not crawl facebook? so its going to be interesting to see if facebook pages now turn up along side G+ in the search results. make sense as google has been for some time now trying to get people to use its authors program.

I thought G+ was googles version of Facebook to show Facebook results in searches might be counter productive.

its all very interesting, young people dont use facebook because they dont want the family to know what they are up to. they have moved to instagram and snapchat. so that means in the future your need to have a much wider reach if you want to speak to these young people when they come of age.
With regards G+ google wants ways to know if people are real and facebook is not 100% but is a improvement on not knowing. its not unknown for google to do this type of thing, they have have worked with AOL and yahoo in the past.
BTW i get loads of hits from facebook bot and i dont use them.

Why would you want to be interested in targeting people so young, they're not anywhere near the sort of people you want to be dealing with.
Sorry but I'll stick to the grown up sites

Google ranks things that it thinks is relevant.
If 50,000 people suddenly like a Facebook page (remember the Thierry Henry handball that cheated the Irish out of a World Cup place?), Google will want to know why.
Re: the young people using different social sites; I bet there are a lot of people on here that used to listen to Radio One when they were young but listen to something different as they've got older (notice I did not say "grown up ;D ).

young people don't use facebook? ??? that's news to me. Where did you get that information from?
Instagram, snapchat (both facebook companies) and facebook are totally different things. A lot of "youngsters" use all three, but fb is still the daddy. Even though they cant seem to generate the revenue they expected.
But as Neil said, why would you want to target that demograph? They don't have two pennies to rub together.
I did a little facebook promotion in January. Now maybe it was the time of the year but my results where: one job booked (minimum charge), three cancelations and about 30 requests for prices and never heard back from them.
And that's with lowered prices.

Bebo was the daddy once it came and Gone!
Facebook has lost the young and trendy by the 1000000s its a fact! facebook is on the down and people looking for the Next big thing, Instant msging is on the up Look at whatsapp Just been bought by FB! WHY? they want the Customer databse.
It was the Biggest waste of Money buying it as to Most its a FREE App.
Most people I no have Jumped to twitter! My facebook Workpage doesnt get the return it used to once. but then again too many Cheaper cleaners have Jumped on the FB WAVE!
I have to laugh at People that say Facebook gives more than Google on a marketing return! they cant be good with Google.
Plus I dont think Ive had a NEW Customer Under 30 for over a year now.

Is there people under 30 in Dunfermline ;D
