Google Search to view public profiles of Facebook on Android devices

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Facebook will allow Google search engine to crawl through and index the mobile application. In fact, users can continue to search for public profiles, and data for these consultations have been obtained from the Facebook application.

The development comes at a crucial time for Google because its search engine is the risk of losing relevance when applications have been increasing in importance.

The world of technology recently was obsessed with the idea of ​​applications is the answer to all needs. Some e-commerce players, even went so far as to go-only application. However, this month launched SnapDeal Flipkart and Lite versions of their websites that can be accessed through a browser.

True, although companies and online services can reflect on the possibility of ending the infrastructure to maintain web sites, and move towards an implementation strategy, there is still a significant percentage of users who continue to access these services through a browser - either the limitation or legacy. The limitation may be in the form of a restriction of available storage space or access to a smartphone.

For platforms such as Facebook and Google, this comes as a win-win, as Android users could switch directly from the search results to the Facebook application. In October, Google announced through its website Google+ you can get details of the application through Safari for iOS.
