Google is thought to be building a Social platform, which we all know, is called GoogleMe and Goldman Sachs thinks voice calling is a major part of it. Bare in mind that this 1 million calls is in the first day! Not only that but not many people have integrated the calls into their Gmail.

The company’s founder, entrepreneur Rohit Khare, has joined Google to work on the company’s social networking product Google Me, according to an L.A. Times report.
“Angstro delivers critical business news about people and companies across professional networks. By leveraging existing services such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, Angstro helps users to easily discover and share news about colleagues and clients. Unlike clipping services that confuse different people with the same name, Angstro both disambiguates names and analyzes social graphs to prioritize those relationships that matter most.”

GoogleMe will include Google maps and Google Latitude which will be an obvious rival to Facebook places. Already Google maps is available for mobile phones and what not so it only makes sense that its to be included into GoogleMe. More on this as it becomes available…..sounding more and more promising for Google though.

We know that Google bought Slide. What we do know for a fact is that the Mountain View-based company is dumping Google Wave while also launching new features. Looking closer, all those separate moves seem to point to one thing: Google Me is on its way, big time.
Google Me
Sources valued the Slide acquisition at $182 million and said the news would come out on Friday.The fact that matters at this point is that it’s high time Facebook’s former CTO were taken seriously – Google is indeed working hard on building a social and gaming platform to be called ‘Google Me‘.
Social Investments
Last month, Google was already tipped to have invested somewhere around $150 million in social gaming platform Zynga. The company never confirmed this expenditure but CEO Eric Schmidt’s statement to the Wall Street Journallast week was quite clear: “we haven’t announced it” but “you can expect a partnership with Zynga” in the future, he said. This reported Slide acquisition add further more credibility to Google’s real social intentions.
Wave Goodbye
At the same time, Google announced it is shutting down Google Wave. Or not exactly, this is what it said: “We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects.” Google Wave being described as a “web app for real time communication and collaboration,” it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to bet that the actual project would be integrated into Google’s next big thing – again, the social platform Google Me.
Recycling
If you are a Google Chrome user, take a look at your Gmail account, you will notice that the Google Wave drag and drop feature has already been ‘recycled,’ so to speak, to attachments received via the emailing platform. Drag those from the email and drop them onto your desktop to save them to your computer. Easy. And very practical if (and when) adapted to/integrated into a prospective social platform… If that were the case, it would be innovative as Google Me’s main competitor, Facebook, does not offer such features – at least so far.
Google Place
Last piece of the puzzle for now: Google now allows verified business owners on Google places to comment/reply on the reviews users write on their places. An efficient way to get user engagement from professional users as well as increase interactivity on the platform.
We’ll keep our eyes peeled as we suspect there’s going to be more. Google is really getting everything together towards its social goal, it seems.

Google acquire Aardvark which is a question and answer service but they haven’t done anything about it yet. As we speak though Facebook also have a beta test underway of a Q and A service too so Google are pulling out the stops to make it work with Googleme to rival Facebook.
Google is prepping to make a major splash in the social networking pool when they release Googleme. They have bought Slide which is a neat and nifty photo slide tool which Google are tweaking to make Facebook shake in their boots. Slide was purchased from the Paypal founder for an astonishing $180 million.
This gives us a good sign that Google are truely stepping up the mark and putting the pressure on Facebook. More on this as it develops.

Thats right folks, Google are going to be bringing out their own proper social networking site named “GoogleMe”. We all might or might not know that they have tried this before with Orkut, although good never really took off due to it being intergrated witht the Google’s application account.
This time though it seems like this will be a seperate enterty completely, Although I’m guessing that there will be some intergration with their account as Google users will maybe want this, but for the rest of us it’s a bonus having it on its own as a lot of ppl might not want to sign up with google and the other extra’s just to use the social network side. Well done Google.
Lets hope it lives up to the expectations.
