They can't use google. Google is a direct competitor to Facebook with their Google+ service, and is closing in on being the #2 social media bc they have the following marketing practices that facebook lacks:
-a google+ tile on ever android smartphone. People will click on tiles just to try them out, so google+ will grow bc of this
-Google+ threads are listed as part of the google search results for users that are logged into Google. This will direct non-users into google+ as well as provide users of Google+ a way to search for old threads that they liked. So, google+ will grow bc of this.
-Integration. Google+ integrates things like Gmail, youtube (so they can put a youtube video in a google+ thread if they like), google maps, as well as google play, where people can link to songs, etc
