More Evidence Of Google’s Social Gaming Plans

It’s been over a year since the talks of Google launching its own Facebook killer began. Up until now nothing much has happened from the company. While, Google has made some progress in social media with plus one and social search, the real social networking site that could perhaps compete with Facebook is yet to be launched.

Social gaming was touted as an entry point of its social media efforts. A job posting by the company confirms this rumour as the company is perhaps planning to build a social gaming empire.
The requirement is for a Product manager for its Games division.
Rare opportunity to grow a brand-new business – Games at Google! We are looking for a strategic, technical and game-loving Product Manager to drive Google’s gaming strategy. You will design strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more. In addition to designing a great user experience and building out key partnerships, you will be significantly influencing Google’s social platform as you work directly with a critical set of early adopters, game developers. Interesting and impactful decisions involving social gaming, privacy, virality, business, and technical APIs await you and the strong, passionate team of gamers you will work with.
The company hopes the candidate can establish partnerships internally and externally to drive the growth of its games to compete with gaming studios like Zynga.
