Google Scoops Up Wiki Company

And the Web 2.0 bubble gets a little closer to bursting

Published on October 31, 2006 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Today Google picked up another Web 2.0 startup company and added them to their growing stable of coders and beta products. The company gobbled up this time? JotSpot, a maker of wiki software. Details on the purchase are still unknown, but the JotSpot software, previously a for-pay product, will now be free. Speculation runs that this purchase is a quick way to integrate wiki-like documentation and page linking technology into the stable of Google web apps such as Writely, Apps for your Domain, Spreadsheets, GMail etc.

Details on the deal are on the JotSpot website.

I'll be sticking to MediaWiki for now . . . but I can see that kind of functionality creeping into other places.
