- apgwoz 16y agoI've never heard of Jambool, but, I'd say that Google is getting very serious about social gaming. First Labpixies to make games, Zynga partnership, now monetization. The question in my mind is whether or not they'll use all this to build social games that do something meaningful like Image Labeler (http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/), or whether or not they'll attempt to flood us with worthless crap like FarmVille and Mob Wars.
- DotSauce 16y agoI'm wondering why Social Gold and Facebook Credits are only focusing on gaming. Does virtual currency have no other legal use? Take on PayPal already. http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/08/09/age-of-virtual-currency/ http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/08/09/age-of-virtual-currency/
