It was really weird to me watching the whole FB debatical,

Seems like FB is good for Big Name Brand Biz, that needs to go on name brand recognition where as Google relies almost entirely on the search (adsense revenue).
Maybe it was just me, but it really seemed to me the Gov Was/is really counting on FB to succeed.

Ah the Web, on top of the world one day, face down in the dirt the next.
