Maka-Maka Taking on Facebook?

Apparently Google’s new social platform is codenamed Maka-Maka. While it may sound ridiculous, according to one of the Techcrunch comments, “‘Maka’ in Hebrew means ‘a hit’ or ‘a punch.’ When you say a guy made a ‘maka’ in Israel, it means that he made a great deal and earned a lot of money, really fast.” Looks like Google is trying to prepare the Facebook knock out. It doesn’t look like Google is going to be ready by the rumored November 5th launch date though.

According to people that I’ve spoken with, the announcement will be made on November 1st and the actual launch of the platform will be on December 1st.
