What would you think if you were told an offer was extended and rejected?
- user24 16y agoI would think the same - that it doesn't fit into their current offerings and that the offer was made so they can get the talent and use the userbase to feed into a future web-os offering. Did that happen? edit: Just read some of your comment history. So why do you think the offer was made? edit2: I mean, ok, say I'm google and I'm thinking about buying dropbox: We can index the user's documents and provide a kick-ass search interface as a product feature, as well as pushing existing products like google docs. Indexing will also feed into advertising across the board, if the user's logged in to their Gbox we can make any adverts they see relevant based on the contents of their own files, which will potentially create an awesome relevance to the user thus increasing CTR and revenue. I guess that's a pretty convincing argument actually...
