Google Buys JotSpot

Search king acquires wiki technology developer as part of move to build collaboration.
Google acquired wiki technology developer JotSpot as the search king builds on the collaborative capabilities it has been building with its web-based applications. Earlier this month, the company tied together its web-based spreadsheet software with the online word processor it has developed from its acquisition of Upstartle and its Writely word processor in a product it is testing called Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

The Docs & Spreadsheets software allows users to invite others to share their documents, edit their documents online with others, and publish the documents online to the general public or a select group of people.
