Google CEO says looking to buy smaller firms
- qwertyqwerty 17y agoI think Ulocate will be purchased by google... They seem to have a great niche in the mobile space. Random, but thoughts?
- smakz 17y agoNot sure why your comment got voted down, while the digg/reddit style supermodel comment got voted up. I think a better target for them might be a company like loopt or whrrl. More users and a stronger growth curve.

- staunch 17y agoLike a super model announcing she's single and looking.

- enomar 17y agoIt's not like he held a press conference announcing that Google is looking for small companies to buy. He simply responded to a question in an interview: "We have been (looking to acquire)," Schmidt said. "We have been wandering around looking at all of the different companies. With the big ones we haven't come across anything we've particularly liked. We are definitely talking to a number of smaller companies but we've done that routinely."
