More Proofs That Google Me is Near?

Google Me is still just a rumour but the search giant continues to snap up firms that could help power it. It’s already grabbed social app firm Slide, social payments company Jambool and social address book creator Angstro this month. Now it’s completed its August shopping spree by snapping up mobile social app maker Social Deck. It looks like those Google Me plans are starting to take shape…
SocialDeck confirmed that Google has gobbled it up in a blog post last night. It didn’t disclose any details about the deal but Google has confirmed that it bought the firm for its mobile smarts. A spokesperson says: “We’re pleased to welcome them to Google…we think they’ll be great contributors with the Google Waterloo team as we continue to innovate in the mobile space.”
Google Waterloo in Canada is home to some of Google’s mobile search and advertising, Chrome and Chrome OS teams. With a Google Chrome web store in the works, SocialDeck could be very handy: it distributes gaming apps for iPhone, Blackberry and Facebook, flogs virtual goods and enables cross-platform play.
