No love lost between the Net's big names

As Valentine's Day approaches with all of its romantic trappings, the online world has been abuzz with relationship advice - when it comes to business partnerships and offensive moves between our favourite online players that is. Don't let rose-tinted glasses cloud your vision, enjoy a clear view of the last seven days worth of digital news with the bigmouthmedia newsletter.

Google won't be expecting many Valentine's cards from its peers this week, as the Mountain View giant continues to prove itself keen to quash competition. This week saw Google unveiling plans for a tablet to rival Apple's iPad and changes to Gmail that will challenge Facebook and its command of the social networking field.

However, Facebook won't be quaking in its boots yet - the ubiquitous site has signed a new ad deal with Microsoft. What's more, the social networking site has certainly been stealing the heart of mobile web users - a new survey has revealed Facebook as a key driver in persuading people to use the internet functionalities of their smartphones.

This week also saw Google release software updates for the Nexus One - its long awaited 'superphone'. Meanwhile the search giant's Super Bowl ad raised some tricky YouTube questions and the Mountain View giant came to an agreement with the US Government in regard to analysing the recent Google cyber attacks too.

The last seven days brought some good news for the ad industry as analysts reported profit while Microsoft revealed new Bing strategies to combat the mighty power of Google. However, Twitter was forced to take a defensive move and reset targeted accounts after a phishing scam swept the boards.
