Thursday Signal: Life Is a Grand Game, So Check In, Brother

A shorter Signal for Thursday, as I’m traveling again, and it’s not easy to write this from a hotel room in Mexico City. For your consumption pleasure, these curated links:
Brands on Sidelines as Disney, Google and MTV Charge Into Social Games (AdAge) This is going to be an interesting year for social and casual gaming. I think the whole world will be game-ified.

Facebook, Twitter Influence Purchases (Information Week) And a dog bit a man. But it’s good to have proof points.

Google Develops a Facebook Rival (WSJ) And Facebook is getting into search, folks!!

LinkedIn: Now Worth More Than $2 Billion (Mashable) Good for Reid, Jeff, and all the folks there.

‘Check-in’ craze moves beyond location (The Social) But you knew that, because you read Signal! And Searchblog!

Publishers And The Hidden Costs Of Data Leakage (AdExchanger) Lord, I hope those leaks won’t stain my carpet.

Searching for Answers? Ask Facebook Questions (Facebook Blog) Is Facebook getting featuritis? Or, perhaps, is it also leaking?!

Apple Opens iAd Network to Developers (The Loop) It’s not what it sounds like. They’re letting developers buy iAds, not develop on top of it.

Today’s FM’s campaign of the day is a joint RRW/VMWare/Intel whitepaper on the future of cloud computing (it’s free thanks to Intel and VMware).

If it suits your information consumption goals, sign up for Signal’s email newsletter on the Signal home page (upper right box). You’ll get an exclusive, email only weekly roundup of Signals.
