Over the next few days there will be a forum held, created by French President Sarkosy to discuss the effects the Internet will have on the G8 globalisation agenda. The members involve Google's Eric Schmidt, News Corp's Rupert Murdoch and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.


Many political leaders are aware of the power social network's can hold with over 600 million users alone. Thus the interest of getting the support of the web's key players on their political side, and increasing the importance of the future direction to those such as Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg, described by his colleagues as "the man from the future" has revealed that  the possibility of a Facebook phone is doubtful, even though users of the mobile apps have soared to over 300 million. He went on futher to point out the importance of gaming to Facebook's model, noting that Zynga has overtaken EA's market cap.
