Google+ Games. Now it's On

It’s true that Google+’s early days have seen tremendous growth for the service, nevertheless not everyone is sold on the network being a Facebook killer, and it probably doesn’t have to be, but anyway you look at it, Google is serious about building this thing as a major player in the space. Games should help them along that quest.

Someone in the comments of this article said Google will get in trouble for this. I don’t know about that, nevertheless it is interesting that Google would reveal this right as the company is engulfed in regulatory scrutiny – namely a broad investigation into its business practices by the Federal Trade Commission.

This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that “people familiar with the probe” indicated that Google’s Android and web search businesses would be key areas of focus.

Clearly, Google is very confident in its own business practices in regards to competition. Google has stood very firm on its stance in this connection, recently providing 5 key principles as to why it stands up to any scrutiny in this area.

Google is afterwards Facebook, to send them out of the business. They dared to challenge the Big Fish and now the will suffer the consequences.

As I said earlier, to understand Google movements, and futures movements, don’t think about technolgy however about a business game where Facebook is about to lose.

Lot of steps to go to get there

They have a lot of steps to go to get there, however games should be a pretty huge step in that regard. Clearly, INTERNET domination is a different story. They have the operating systems, the browser, the search, the ads, the social network, the online video destination, the email, the doc/spreadsheet tools, the feed reader, and a whole lot more. Oh, and the broadband.
