Today is a bad day for any acquisition stories. You can never tell if they are pranks or for real!

According to ‘The Flat Panel and a Phone‘, Google bought iotum for half a billion bucks!

“After almost 3 months of negotiations Google has agreed to buy iotum in an all cash deal of $520m.”

“Sergey Grin of Google was ecstatic about the new purchase and explained to me why he was so enthusiastic - “iotum is the missing piece in our puzzle.”

“NOW we will also know, thanks to iotum where and what you are doing at any given time which will make our advertising much more relevant.”

Well, I am going to put this as another April 1st Prank! ahhhh!! Enough! I am out.

“The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.”
