According to this Wall Street Journal, Google is in fact in negotiations with publishers specializing in the gaming community to develop a «Facebook killer». The newspaper quotes the name of Playdom, that Disney has just raised once again and that is the source of securities Tritopia and Tiki Farm.
Zynga, to whom we owe the very popular Farmville, is also among the prospective partners. The newspaper believes that even Google has already invested in the company. The name of Playfish, bought last year by Electronic Arts, is also cited.
