Michael Boland author of the article, Once Again, Facebook Is Supposedly the Latest 'Google Killer'. Discusses the differences between two internet sites Facebook and Google, he starts off from the very beginning with something called a "link bait headline" which is pretty much a strong headline/title used to capture peoples attention. Luckily i fell victim to his ploy, or else i would not have come upon such an interesting article.
This article is defiantly for a certain type of audience, he goes into detail on what type of search engine is used for both sites so the reader would have to know something about internet, he also brings up different websites as well as different features of those sites, and he doesn't stop to explain what each site is or what feature does what. This article is defiantly geared towards those who already internet savvy.
I did find this article very fun to read. Boland would explain to you something about Facebook's search engine, enough so that you're not bored, and then he'd throw in a joke to keep you reading.
I think Boland was defiantly trying to convey an argument to the reader. Hinting that Facebook is not better than google, he explains how although Facebook does have a better search for something in common with you, google on the other hand has volume, 30 trillion pages worth of online volume ."This is interesting but it's no Google killer" he states "...it doesn't yet have the volume" sounds like Boland implying that Facebook is not yet strong enough to beat google. He argues that Facebook is not a Google killer. He expresses this through his commentary and points out facts that Google is still much bigger.
Michael Boland did a great job expressing his stance on the argument. I think he is right in believing that Facebook is not a Google killer, because Facebook still has to overcome some barriers before being called a "Google Killer."
