BetaNews | Google Acquires Postini for $625 Million

For those of us using Google services such as Gmail and particularly Google Apps for Domains (both are free) we may see enhancements coming soon to certain Google services thanks to Google's acquisition of Postini. Postini provides corporate antispam, email archiving, and other "enterprise" services. It is not clear yet what Google plans to do with their latest acquisition, but the typical pattern usually includes Google incorporating the best features and releasing them for free and then charging for expanded features. As Google continues to look for ways to "organize the world's information," let's hope they also uphold their mantra to "do no evil."
