Google To Acquire GrandCentral (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/06/24/google-to-acquire-grand-central-for-50-million/)

found on boygeniusreport

Search giant Google is in the final stages of negotiating a deal to purchase Grand Central. The purveyors of "One Number for Life" will soon find themselves under the warm and protective Google umbrella. Grand Central is an innovative service that provides users with a single phone number that can route calls to multiple different phone lines, giving you single number access to a land line, cell phone, business phone, and more. It also provides email delivery of MP3-encoded voice mail messages, among many other things. This appears to be a smart move on Google's part, further enabling the company to pursue world domination, supreme wealth, and king of the hill status. There's no word on how much GC will end up fetching (though $50 million seems to be on the tip of their tongues), if there will be material change to GC's services, or anything else for that matter. It will be very interesting to see how things proceed over the next few months.

what if Google gets more inflated, and bought entire DT immediately?!

I find this so discouraging....

Glancing nervously over my shoulder, keeping an eye out for Big Brother...

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooo...

My allegiance is to google but Yahoo has such a nicer home page....I love my gmail though, I just wish everyone had it so we could use google talk instead of aim because AIM is the epitome of bad programming.

The information world is quite possible and while I might seem oblivious to the information they store and its violation of privacy I find google's programs to be user friendly and quite capable of making life just that much easier on a day to day basis.
