Google acquire, old news... now they hire!
We know the big companies tend to acquire the small ones that may seem to have a chance to harm their revenue.
Microsoft did that before with FoxPro, Ericsson too and many other but i ran today in new behavior - to me at least - Google hire the iRows guys.
And if you don't know iRows started early this year as an online spreadsheet application like many other including numsum,Thinkfree and Google Docs & Spreadsheets. but seems like their product was so good and these guys were talanted so that Google hire them and their project will shutdown december 31 why shutdown the project couldn't they work for Google and continue their small business ;) .
This makes me rethink of the whole idea of the online application at first i thought it will be good thing for individual developers who can reach customers much easier and small businesses can do so, but now it dosn't seem like it promised.
