Google launched games such as Angry Birds and Zynga Poker on Google+, a move to get users spending more time on the social network instead of Facebook. Google has added games to Google+, a move that should increase the amount of time users spend on the social network as it seeks to pry users from Facebook. Google+ launched to limited field testing June 28, quickly gaining more than 25 million users in a month’s time, according to comScore. The network leverages a Circles construct of manual friending, and offers Hangouts for impromptu and planned video chat sessions. The company has been refining the product for the last six weeks since its launch and the latest tweak is a big one; the search engine is adding a games button to the top of Google+ users’ streams.
