When Digg founder Kevin Rose tweeted about the existence of "Google Me," Google's supposed "Facebook killer" social-networking site, I'd love to know whether he expected Facebook's former-CTO to jump into the fray and confirm it, saying it's a "real project."
Adam D'Angelo, who has since left Facebook to found Quora, wrote on his Q&A site that that not only is it "not a rumor," that there are many people working on the project at Google, adding he is "completely confident about this."
But what about Buzz, Google's attempt last year to coin their own Facebook rival? According to D'Angelo, "they realized that Buzz wasn't enough and that they need to build out a full, first-class social network. They are modeling it off of Facebook."
