Mashable Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has consistently downplayed the level of direct competition between Facebook and Google. “I don’t think that this is going to be the type of situation when one company wins all this stuff,” he told Charlie Rose of PBS last fall.

Tom Johansmeyer — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:00:18 +0000

Do you remember the early days of Twitter? I’m a devoted UberSocial user on my BlackBerry, but before I got hooked on it, I was a committed “40404” user. Many of the 200 million registered Twitter users probably don’t know what that means. Well, those five digits could be the source of endless embarrassment.
