It is fascinating for sure, but I don't think Google will make any acquisitions until it finds out if the service is somewhat competitive and worth an investment. Google has been testing the waters with all of its recent projects. I believe once it finds a few more core services to generate revenue other than its search engine, it will look to use the money to strengthen them into dominating forces across the board. At least that is what I would do.
