Google acquire California startup JotSpot

There is a Wiki product in Google’s plan as they have just announced their acquisition of the California startup JotSpot Inc.

The terms of the deal have not been disclosed to the public though JotSpot has made it clear that the existing members have nothing to be worried about.

JotSpot Chief Executive Joe Kraus said in a statement that this deal would make them able to tap into the Internet search leader’s large user base and robust data centers capable of handling any growth.

He said: “Our vision has always been to take wikis out of the land of the nerds and bring it to the largest possible audience. There’s no larger audience that you can reach than one you can reach through Google.”

JotSpot currently has 30,000 paid users. Around 2,000 companies use their technology hosted on premise or at JotSpot. The company said that their 27 employees will move to Google’s Mountain View headquarters.
