Forget Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) vs. Apple, the real Silicon Valley giant the folks in Mountain View should be watching is Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). Mark Zuckerberg and company have filed for a patent suggesting they are interested in creating an ad exchange that would marry advertising data with Facebook's social graph (i.e. all the data they have collected on their users). Given how much information Facebook has on us that's an extraordinary advantage for an advertiser to have. Once those two sets of information are combined the ad could take the form of a video on Facebook or an interactive "app" on another partner site. While a bit complicated the bottom line is this: Google no longer has the market cornered on your personal information and those valuable online ad dollars may one day flow to Facebook instead. Facebook's "social graph is head and shoulders above any type of data that's out there on the consumer that has ever existed," says Yahoo Finance's Phil Pearlman. "It is a huge threat to Google over a longer period of time." Read the full article at http://finance.yahoo.com/news/facebook-vs--google-in-web-ad-battle-170317590.html
