For Google it's not New - JotSpot acquired

It's quite a common thing now. Google acquiring a firm that has something different to say or do. We saw Google acquiring Keyhole, the online mapping company. Then Writely, and now the makers of WIKI the JOtSpot. JotSpot was founded in 2004 as the first company to provide an application Wiki.

A wiki is a website designed for collaboration. In a wiki everyone can edit, update and append pages with new information, all without knowing HTML.

And if you are wondering what' next on Google then look at the following:
