It seems like a Wikipedia ripoff, judging by the TOC and general style. In
fact, I have just found the following (my Firefox search bar points to
Wikipedia by default *smile*):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Acquisitions_by_Google
Knowing that many pages exist to keep track of acquisitions (I have cited
the Microsoft equivalent very often, , especially as SCO exists there),
this has got to be a better (e.g. more up-to-date) source.
I first came across such a Google list over a year ago when Google just
had about a dozen companies (acquisitions). I don't have that site
bookmarked, but I am fairly sure that I reached that site via Slashdot.
One of these "Relax, Bill Gates. It's Google turn to take the bashing"
items (probably).
Best wishes,
Roy
