Or maybe not so silent, rather it could just be me not realizing how HUGE this company really is. I was setting up a Feedburner (which if you don’t know is a great RSS extender service) account the other day and I happened to notice that they had been acquired by Google. Where have I been? It may have happened sometime ago, but that was the first I had seen of it. So I then began to think just how many services / companies Google currently has under it’s umbrella.

As far as products, simply check out their website and you’ll soon discover that you can nearly do everything straight from Google.com! For example, iGoogle.com, what better home page can you think of? It’s got everything and it’s completely customizable. It’s the best in my opinion.

Here is the Wikipedia list of acquisitions from Google.

Google Summer of Code 2009

I so wish I could do this (but I’m not a student). The Summer of Code is going down again real soon. I probably wouldn’t even have the time to mess with anything. I really want to try and get some nice themes out this summer and work on a couple of plugins that I have been kicking around.

But if you’re a student and want to spend your Summer coding – check this out!

Oh Google!

How I heart thee!
