Google enforces Social Gaming
Author: Lukas Kubina
Google has agreed to buy Slide for $182 million. TechCrunch reports that this is not the last move in Google's serious social gaming and apps strategy to counter Facebook. Google recently invested in Zynga to form the cornerstone of Google Games. It is still unclear whether Slide founder Max Levchin will be joining Google or what his continuing role will be.
For more background information please watch Max on the the DLD 2009 "Software" panel with fellow panellists Joel Spolsky , Daniel Ek, Suhas Gopinath, Hendrik Speck, and moderation by Marissa Mayer (Google).
