Google Continues Push To Become More Social

In an effort to build up their social assets in preparation for the looming battle with Facebook, Google is looking to hire a “Head Of Social” according to a recruiting document acquired by GigaOm. The position will be used to launch new products and/or integrate social features into their existing products. While the company admits that they are behind on such functionality, it’s mission critical for Google.

The company recently launched Google Buzz in an effort to fend off Facebook who has rapidly become a 400+ million user behemoth.
