Facebook seems to have secretly hired a PR firm Burson-Marstelle to spread bad rumors about Google. Apparently, the PR firm approached a blogger to spread some rumors about Google, and the blogger refused and made all the email correspondence public.

Facebook has seen some challenges with dealing with privacy issues that millions of users are facing. Mark Zuckerberg himself suggested that it is one of the biggest challenge that Facebook has been facing.

Google has been working on its own social product and it looks like it has made Facebook very scared.

Burson Marsteller is a very reputed PR firm and is very surprising that they would take such a project. http://www.burson-marsteller.com

This Facebookgate seems to have silicon valley experts completely baffled. Though Facebook seems to have had some very shady past, this seems to creepy for a company that is valued at more than 80 Billion dollars.
