Google buys Postini for $625 million

Google Inc. is buying e-mail security specialist Postini Inc. for $625 million, fortifying the Internet search leader's effort to sell online software services to corporate customers seeking alternatives to Microsoft Corp.'s long-dominant products.

The all-cash deal announced Monday is aimed at reassuring large businesses that have had qualms about entrusting Google to oversee their e-mail systems and other vital applications because of security concerns.

I hadn't even heard of Postini before this post, so I am guessing that they must be a good company (and profitable) for Google to pay so much for them.

Google is becoming DAMN!

Does anybody know the total wealth of Google? I'm guessing its a few quid more than me

Google seems to be buying rather than grooming their own divisions these days.

They have a lot of talent in house, but because of the stiff competition from Yahoo and MSN they can't waste a lot of time
