Two different activities. If I want a map from 123 Fake St. to 742 Evergreen Terrace, I am going to use Google Maps, not Facebook. If I want to know how many degrees Fahrenheit 100 Celcius is, I'm not going to ask Facebook, I'm going to ask Google.

If I want to look at drunken pictures of my friends, though, then I will definitely use Facebook. I use each tool for what it's good for, and I think most other people do the same because it comes naturally.

(I hate structured socialization, though, so I don't use Facebook. But I can accept that I'm abnormal in that respect.)
