Google past and possible future acquistions |
Loading ...On the Kuro5hin Google buyout and possible buyout list, I hadn’t heard of Outride, Applied Semantics, Kaltix and Zipdash. Kuro5hin also speculates on possible future Google buyouts:
I will first take a look at who Google has acquired in the past and what Google has done for them, and then I’ll throw out a few possibilities for Googlification and discuss where they might fit into Google’s strategy.
Technorati is an fascinating first selection. This service could benefit immensely from Google’s scaling expertise. The open source code search engine koders is on my list to check out. Liked the nod to Stumbleupon (I’ve used them on and off since January 2004). If Google is thinking of relaunching their Google Accelerator Propel is a web accelerator service mentioned.
In the “left field” department: Icosystem, Coral, Stayhealthy and World66. I like looking at lists like this because it often turns me onto new sites/services that I haven’t seen before.
After a few years work on programming language
compilers, decompilers and translators, I finally
launched an alpha version of a website for developers
to find code snippets easily. It contains over 100M
loc of c/c++ code. The search is syntax aware, so you
can easily find method calls and class definitions,
etc. I’d like to hear some feedback.

Just an FYI…in many independent bake-offs, Propel routinely comes in last place for performance among the big three web acceleration vendors — AcceleNet web accelerator by ICT and Slipstream’s accelerator being the two others. Slipstream has a slight advantage over AcceleNet in download size but in AcceleNet wins in pure performance and also accelerates more applications. Anyway, Propel’s way behind the others.
