Google aquires wiki company Jotspot

I posted an article about this on my Project Leader blog and thought that I would link to it from here.
About a year ago I started using collaboration software known as a wiki written by startup company called Jotspot.
I was very taken with the way it allowed multiple people to share documents, collaborate on them in real time, make comments, track changes, brainstorm and maintain a record, all without the use of emails. In fact I believe that one day all teams of employees, volunteers, perhaps even writer's groups will work this way.
It seems that Google liked this philosophy of online sharing and collaboration so much that they bought the company.
