Google buys yet another company

[Jonathan]

I'm serious. Google pretty much owns the world.

You can tell that if they are buying stuff, they aren't going to stop anytime soon.


Google Inc. said on Monday it has agreed to buy Web-based security provider Postini for $625 million, expanding its package of online applications to compete with Microsoft Corp.'s Office.

Postini provides security and encryption services, protecting instant messaging, e-mail and other communications, to more than 35,000 businesses and 10 million users worldwide.


Google said the deal would enable it to provide organizations with more Web-based services similar to its Google Apps package, which includes its e-mail service Gmail, Calendar, and Talk, its messaging service.




Google might as well buy a real estate company and start selling houses. That way they can make the Hoogle, online For Sale real estate engine.

They certainly don't seem to be in any mood to stop... Though, you wonder when they will run out of steam. Huge corporations like Google tend to reign, and then be passed to something else. Its strange how that happens.

People have said google would die since it was born (which was Sept 12, 1998, by the way)

They show no signs of stopping, and I bet you that they won't anytime soon ;)

And then, one day, a strong EMP came, and blew all the internet away. At the age of 17, I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders...

Google has purchases tons of assets since this post was even created. Although postini is the technology behind gmail's spam filter, so it's all good
