Google has acquired Gizmo5

Gizmo5 is another (a better?) VOIP, like Skype.  The official announcement is here.

It’s probably a good thing for Michael Robertson, the entrepreneur who started Gizmo5 and Lindows/Linspire.  Hopefully it will take some of the pressure off him.

A shame it had to be the big one. Apart from the issues raised by google-watch, it seems to be against Robertson’s raison d’etre: open and fair.

Did you know that a googol is a number = 1×10^100.  Goodbye skype?
