Dodgeball gets teh Googlage

Dodgeball, everyone's favorite ubiquitous mobile presence/stalking utility, has just began allowing logins with one's Google account credentials. This isn't surprising in and of itself, seeing that the big G bought dodgeball quite a while back, the timing is a bit confounding. While dodgeball use is still strong with a small core group of users, mainly in San Francisco, the service has mostly dropped off the map to most potential clients. One would think that when opening the service up the entire Google user base, there would be some marketing push to get dodgeball back in the limelight, but as of yet nothing has shown up on the internets. In any case, this is certainly a sign of greater things to come; perhaps in the form of some GooTube integration. Chris Messina has some commentary on the matter.
