Google does what they do best. They focus on making their Search product better and better. That might be acquisitions that improve their product or just take a smaller player out of the market. Vey similar to the way Adobe bought Macromedia with a 2-prong approach/result. One was to acquire Flash and add to their suite of amazing products and the other was to get Macromedia Freehand (previously an Aldus product) to take them of the shelves. Illustrator vs. Freehand. Unfortunately, we won't be hearing that discussion anymore. To bad as as IMHO, Frrehand was a better product, but Adobe won't support both and has made it clear that they will not be working on Freehand and will slowly discontinue support. Macromedia made a bad ddecision letting Frrenand go, but I'm sure that would of been a deal breaker...what a waste! If I had the money, I would buy Freehand and continue to keep it the best vector-based product on the market. Maybe Google will do the same with Eurekster. I've noticed that their News and Blog links are down which is usually the first sign that a sale is being negotiated. You heard it hear. You’re right. Google does what they do best.
