Google has acquired JotSpot

Fear the Google-plex. They know all, they search all.

But I’m still keeping my Gmail account. And I’ll probably use the wiki when it is available. I’ve always liked JotSpot but didn’t feel it was worth paying for with so many other free wiki spaces available (like wikispaces or pbwiki). Now I’ll have to give it some deeper consideration. My preference is still to host my own wiki when available, but when I make recommendations to teachers they need something quick, easy and accessible for free. Do we see the outlines of Google Office starting to take shape here?

    […] In other wiki news, Google has acquired JotSpot (Via StigmergicWeb), a popular and feature rich wiki service. It’s about time Google acquired a wiki service! I’ve been waiting for this. I can’t wait to write about it at the Infinite Thniking Machine. […]

    Google Office exisits!
    docs&spreadsheets, calendar, mobile notification, file storage, virtual office -
    ubiquitous, extensible and scalable - what more would you ask for?

    Don’t forget online content management via Blogger. I suppose it is already there in all but name. I’m not sure about the details on file storage - is that using Gmail as a virtual drive, online storage of docs and spreadsheets, or is there something else that I don’t know about.
