Two Growing Trends: "Delete My Facebook Account" and Google's eBook Store


Could it be that all the recent controversy over privacy at Facebook is having an impact on the social networking site's business?

Search Engine Land reports that in the "how do I?" category of search on Google, one fast-growing question is "How do I delete my Facebook account?"

Meanwhile, Kyodo News Service is reporting today that Google has "the support of almost all publishers in the United States for its digital bookstore expected to be launched as early as the end of June," according to unnamed company officials.

This report says that more than 25,000 publishers and authors have agreed to participate in the search giant's effort to distribute digital books online, which if true would amount to a very large new e-bookstore indeed.

The project is called Google Editions.
