Google has been planning to add more extensive social-networking aspects to its core set of products this fall for quite some time now. Turns out, the probability they’re going to pull off something much, much bigger is increasing with the progress of a potentially rolling snow ball of low-profile, cunning marketing tactics spreading around the IT community. From PCMag:

“[Eric] Schmidt’s comments come several months after rumors of a “Google Me” social network made the rounds in the blogosphere. It was first mentioned in a tweet from Digg co-founder Kevin Rose, who said Google was prepping a Facebook competitor known as Google Me. His tweet was later deleted, but ex-Facebook executive and Quora co-founder, Adam D’Angelo, later said that Google Me “is not a rumor.”

This is only one example of this ground-breaking tidal wave.

While shedding light on an extremely extensive and fresh investment portfolio that stretches from the purchase of the social news aggregation start-up Angstro and a payment of a humble $10M for the user-created location based interactive videos company Quiksee, it seems that Google has been very busy lately.

Furthermore, with the buying of the virtual currency platform developer Jambool, the social game (and app) company Slide, gaming mogul SocialDesk and more, the social-networking community has been led (whether intentionally or inadvertently) to actually believe the development of Google’s all new and ahead-of-the-pack social network and Facebook competitor, “Google Me”.

With even more business moves such as the investment of a not-so-humble $100M in Zynga, and the purchase of the app publisher LabPixies, it’s not so hard to put two and two together, and figure something big is boiling; something massive, one way or another.
