Google scarfs up SocialDeck
p2pnet view P2P | Advertising:- Lessee — Giant US advertising company Google is into medical records, on- and offline political lobbying, maps, videos, music, Gmail ‘filtering’, social networking, renewable-energy, phones, movie and music (and other stuff) indexing, libraries, language translation, browsers, operating systems, spreadsheets, etc, and so on —- and on and on and on.
Oh, and data piracy, big time.
Makes social ad site Fa$ebook look like a piker.
Now “Google has acquired Canadian Company, SocialDeck! www.socialdeck.com”, SocialDeck tweets joyously.
Gargle is already reportedly in bed with Facebook partner Zynga, one of the most reprehensible ’social’ gaming sites ever, and’Big News!’ shout the people at SocialDeck, going on >>>
We’re super excited to announce that someone found out social games as fun as you have — in this case, that “someone” is Google.
“SocialDeck raised its first financing round from the BlackBerry Partners Fund in March 2009″, it says. “The company’s core team splits its time between Toronto and San Francisco.”
It must have been doing well to have caught Gargoyle’s avaricious eye and one wonders whether or not it could’ve continued its success under its own flag, instead of becoming yet another Google possession.
