While I was looking for information for this article, I stopped in on the Wikipedia page that has a list of Google’s properties. At the time of the purchase, which according to this article was May 2005, I’m sure I didn’t really appreciate the magnitude of the purchase. For those of you who don’t know or remember, dodgeballÂ? is one of the first mobile social networks.

Lately, several ofÂ? articles have been written aboutÂ? the importance of mobile networks,Â? especially for the bigÂ? 3Â? Internet companies. WithÂ? over a year working with the dodgeball network, it’s something that Google is obviously well underway in exploring, and it makes the implementation of a mobileÂ? YouTube easier and more lucrative - several of the mistakes from dodgeball (not that any are known personally, but there are always lessons to be learned) can now be avoided.

I’m suprised more hasn’t been said or announced about this, or have I just been under a rock?
