As a user I thought I ought to read up on this so I googled some sources and found that Techcrunch had hosted a discussion on the implication of the acquistion with a number of esteemed analysts and bloggers.
Unfortunately even with the the creme de la creme of technologists present, the recorded call quality is below usable. Read the reponses to their post for a bit of inisght into this, it is quite amusing.
Do I now have a view on the significance off the acquisition - no. Do i have a view on my fellow bloggers (including me) - we are not as smart sometimes as we think we are!
