Google buys Measuremap?
Going through my RSS feeds and sorting through email, what do I find this evening? An email from Jeffrey Veen (which was obviously sent to all Measuremap users) explaining how Google has bought them! Odd. In the email he refers to this post on the Google Blog and now I left wondering… what the heck is going on? Google just hired Jeffrey Veen and acquired a prettier interface to their Google Analytics software I guess.
For those wondering, Measuremap is a pretty cool little tool to monitor your blog traffic. It’s designed specifically for blogs. I have been using it here for about a month now and I have found it really interesting… and Jeffrey Veen is a pretty well known web dude with an impressive portfolio. He is one of the big minds in user centered design, which I think we all can admit Google needs to work on their UI a little 
I have not yet had a chance to attend one of his presentations but I hear they are pretty good.
Anyway… acquisitions everywhere, dot com bubble 2.0?
