Last week, Google failed to get its hands on even a small percentage of Facebook's social graph, as Microsoft walked away with an ad deal and a $240 million stake. Now TechCrunch reports Google might be delayed in announcing plans to build its own "social layer" between users and applications. The project, code-named "Maka-Maka," will connect users and create an "activity stream" similar to Facebook's once controversial, now popular news feeds. Google eventually plans to open this social layer to third parties, just like Facebook did with its platform. Problem is, creating a me-too Facebook from scratch is proving harder than Google thought.
