Google’s desire to expand its reach to social media is no secret. Through its numerous acquisitions, Google has tried and tested different approaches but nothing so far has proved particularly promising.
Buzz, Wave and Orkut have all raised some interest at their time, but never caught on with the masses. However, if Google manages to combine the best features of its previous ventures, the rumoured Facebook challenger ‘Google Me’ could prove to be the real deal, a PC World article speculates.
