Google acquires Gapminder software
March 16, 2007
I don’t usually go for PR type items, but this one has me excited. I am a HUGE HUGE fan of Gapminder, and today I learn that another of my favorite companies, our good friends from Mountain View, have acquired the Gapminder software package, Trendalyzer, that I have mentioned in the past. I believe this is as much for the developers as the code itself. Trendalyzer has been available on Google for a while as a bit of a really cool toy. This is exciting and I would love to see how Google integrates the package into its suite of services, and what new ideas they can come up with. Here is a suggestion … Acquire Swivel and integrate it with Trendalyzer.
