Google will be playing a new game field, the game of multi-player social networking games, because they have purchased Social Deck, maker of mult-player games that work across iPhone, BlackBerry and Facebook. Social Deck is located in San Francisco and Toronto Canada.
SocialDeck was founded in 2008 with the vision of enabling "anywhere, anytime, anyone" gaming. The company has launched several titles for the iPhone, Facebook, and BlackBerry using its social gaming platform technology, which enables simultaneous game play across multiple mobile devices and social networks. SocialDeck's technology also facilitates viral content discovery, distribution and monetization.
SocialDeck raised its first financing round from the BlackBerry Partners Fund in March 2009. The company's core team splits its time between Toronto and San Francisco.
Google acquired Angstro, that offers the "ability to [home] in on highly focused, relevant news across professional networks." And Google recently bought Slide, a developer of social-networking software.
Shake & Spell for the Blackberry demonstrates how mobile games and social networking platforms such as Facebook can be seamlessly connected so users can engage with one another, regardless of the device, service or platform being used. A Shake & Spell player, for example, can use their Blackberry to compete against a friend that is using the game on their iPhone or Facebook on their desktop computer.
