Looks like I just can't run away from Google products anymore - first Feedburner and now Postini!

I was just going to post this, saw it on /.

Shall be interesting I suppose...

I think it's really sucks, it will be interesting to see what Google does to it .....and if it goes as a freebie or still a pay thing....

I am not a fan of google, use to be but they got to big and are not the company they once were.... in my opinion.....

As always time will tell

Some of Google purchases make more sense to me than others ... this one I can't figure out.

Well, maybe they'll have a free version that replaces the spam mail with Google ads (like they do with Gmail accounts).

Actually this purchase makes so much more sense. It could compliment/replace the spam system in their backend and more importantly provide Positini filtering for all Google Apps hosted domains.

What is more, they have a a new way to snoop on emails that had evaded them
