Interesting news, thanks for posting.

I like what it says in the article, that they agreed to sell to Google because they like the technology. Probably more like striking it rich as Google pays pretty darn well for these acquisitions of theirs.

Google has now started to take over the whole world
I don't know why they would start with a site like that.

They must have their reasons. I like the fact that Google is expanding every day.
