A post in Publishing 2.0 has helped fuel speculation that search giant Google might be getting cozy with social networking site Facebook.

While Robert Young of Publishing 2.0 says he believes a deal is already in the works, neither company has commented on the rumor.

If true, the deal could put a crimp in Google's pending deal with MySpace, which accounts for nearly 11 percent of Google's search traffic.

While the fast-growing Facebook is rumored to be in the mix with team Google, MySpace has been reported as a potential mate for Yahoo! In June, News Corp. boss Rupert Murdoch proposed a stock swap that would allow him to trade MySpace for a 25 percent stake in Yahoo.
