It should be interesting to see what unfolds over the coming years. I'm interested in your point about Facebook "taking tons of advertising money from Google". Search advertising and social media advertising are very different products in terms of user intention, relevance to content (or search), and associated performance metrics. I'm not sure it's an either/or decision for an advertiser - but would be really interested to read any report or data that you came across in forming your theory. Thanks! Thanks Jamie.
