Blizzard's senior VP Frank Pearce expressed his hope that their online service Battle.net will become gaming's Facebook. When asked where he thought Battle.net was heading in the next two years, Pearce answered, "For me, I think about the web 2.0 experience and all the people that are connecting with each other around the world on sites like Facebook, and I would like Blizzard's Battle.net to be the equivalent in the gaming space.

"But that's pretty ambitious," he told G4TV. "I would be very, very satisfied if Battle.net was that just for Blizzard games and the Blizzard community. The Blizzard community is really what's most important to us, anyway."
