When we compare Microsoft and Apple, Microsoft wins just because they have kept their ethics alive. This article will compare the both of them.

Facebook isn’t a social network (it’s a “social utility”) and isn’t meant to build large groups of new friends. Instead, Facebook is meant to reinforce “pre-existing” social connections"After a lot of user outburst and a cluster of clarifications from FB guys,it seems that Facebook is firm on its definition of being a "social utility" and not a "social network" This is how Facebook defines itself(officially)
