What’s the difference between Google and Facebook?

    One thing more is that FB also focuses on the google movements. As now when google has announced to make the old data as the new one for providing the more relevant result from that time , FB has decided to restore  the old stuff and it has create the new news feed also for getting the old stuff easily. So is the strategy of the FB to get the more position in google’s result?
