As we built the business over the past three years Google consistently attracted our attention. We watched them acquire Writely, and launch Google Groups, Google Spreadsheets and Google Apps for Your Domain. It was pretty apparent that Google shared our vision for how groups of people can create, manage and share information online. Then when we had conversations with people at Google we found ourselves completing each other's sentences. Joining Google allows us to plug into the resources that only a company of Google's scale can offer, like a huge audience, access to world-class data centers and a team of incredibly smart people.Official Google Blog: Spot on
Prediction: It will not be long before the only piece of software we need to do everything on our computers we do now, is a browsers.

It certainly looks like Google is trying to consolidate and leverage its massive influence over the Internet in preparation for the struggle with Microsoft. I've read a number of articles arguing that the acquisition of JotSpot was the last missing piece that Google needed in order to have the assets to create an online management tool for small businesses.
While Microsoft is busy redefining itself as a Web 2.0 company (consider Office Live, for example), Google is pulling itself together for the struggle that is to come.
And if Google has its way, then eventually Google.com will indeed be the only domain we'll ever need, since everything that we do now will be possible to do online.
