For the past year, some of the biggest names in technology have waged a bidding war for SocialDeck, a small Canadian game-apps maker whose founders were pretty much broke during the start-up’s three-year lifespan. The company caught the eye of Research In Motion; and Zynga, creator of the massively popular Facebook game FarmVille, made an offer. But this past summer, Google came out on top, buying SocialDeck for between $10-million and $25-million (the exact amount is a closely guarded secret).
