here's what gets me. per the article: >>"Google owns 92% market share of internet searches, Facebook an almost 70% share of social networks. "

but us the searchers and friends are not the customer. FB and google are selling ads, and they are in direct competition with each other. If I want to buy advertising space online, I have plenty of options and the innovation for me to reach my target customers is astounding. The system is working exactly as it should. Or so it goes from a monetary point of view.
