 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon realizing that OpenSocial and Orkut are duds, as well as wanting to penetrate the &amp;quot;walled garden&amp;quot; of Facebook and outdo Microsoft&#039;s investement in 2007, Google will have no resort but to invest in Facebook.  &lt;/p&gt;
