Google Talking With Game Makers About New Social Gaming Site: Report
Search Engine Land: News About Search Engines & Search Marketing —
Nary a week goes by this summer that we don’t hear more rumors about Google’s interest in online games, social networking, and/or some combination of the two. Tonight, the Wall Street Journal is quoting unnamed sources that say Google is talking with “several makers of popular online games” to have those games included on a new social networking site “that could compete with Facebook.” There’s no confirmation from Google on this report, but the WSJ’s sources say the game makers include Zynga, Playfish (owned by Electronic Arts), and Playdom Inc. There were reports two weeks ago that Google has invested $100 million-plus in Zynga , makers of the uber-popular ...

Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, said that "the world doesn't need a copy of the same ...

GoogleWatchBlog —
Weitere Gerüchte ziehen ihre Runden. Laut Angaben des "Wall Street Journals" soll es bereits Gespräche über mögliche Kooperationen mit namhaften Herstellern geben. Im Interview mit dem WSJ hat Google-CEO Eric Schmidt aber eins klar gemacht: Die Zynga-Meldung ist kein Gerücht, wo hingegen es bei Google Me an Wahrheit fehlt. Viel kann man in die zwei Sätze interpretieren, die Eric Schmidt dem "Wall Street Jorunal" zum "fressen" vorgeworfen hat. Zunächst lehnt er einen Facebook-Klon ab, denn "die Welt braucht keine Kopie von der selben Sache". Dennoch kann man da auch hereininterpretieren, dass Google Me etwas ...
