SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google Inc’s (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) accelerated efforts to carve out a position in the fast-growing mobile and social networking markets leapt into the spotlight Friday, a day after the giant Internet company reported a rare earnings miss.

The company’s investments in its Android mobile software and fledgling Facebook-like Google+ social network represent some of the company’s key growth opportunities going forward. But Wall Street is still trying to understand the near-term impact on Google’s business.
