Social Gaming Company SocialDeck Acquired By Google

Lending more credence to the rumor that Google is zeroing in on social networking, the search engine giant this week purchased social gaming company SocialDeck – its fifth acquisition this month.

Neither Google or SocialDeck have so far elaborated on how SocialDeck will be incorporated into Google.

SocialDeck was founded in 2008 with a focus on the concept of “anywhere, anytime, anyone” gaming, according to the company’s Web site.

SocialDeck has produced several games, including Color Connect, Pet Hero Puzzle, Shake & Spell, and Shake & Spell 3D. All titles are available through iTunes, with Shake & Spell also available for BlackBerry and on Facebook. All the apps are free, though there is a 99-cent version of Shake & Spell 3D available in the App Store as well.

The company also has a social-gaming platform known as Spark, which connects players across social games on iPhone, BlackBerry, and Facebook.
