Google's Rumored Facebook Competitor Delayed, Reports Say -----

Posted on Dec 01 2010 10:50 PM by xper  in Social | Viewed 2216 Times

A social network project that tech giant Google is rumored to be working on is experiencing delays that have pushed back the launch until spring 2011, tech blog Mashable reported Tuesday. Google's social initiative -- rumored to be called "Google Me" -- could debut in March or April, Mashable said.

Little is known about the top-secret project, which is expected to fuel the company's competition with rival Facebook, other than that it is being led by Google's vice president of engineering, Vic Gundotra.

“We’re always experimenting with new ways to improve our products, and we have already confirmed that we are focused on incorporating social elements across Google,” a Google spokesperson told NewsCore. “But we have nothing new to announce at this time.”

The product was originally thought to be ready for launch by the end of the year, according to media reports.

Rumors about "Google Me" have run rampant throughout the year. Some reports have pegged the coming product as a full-fledged social networking website similar to Facebook. But other analysts have said the company is simply trying to incorporate social elements into existing core products.
