Figuring out the stack

Startups should worry about this statement:

Schmidt said that one of projects Google is engage in is figuring out
the underlying architecture for building Web applications. Perhaps that
is why Google bought JotSpot.

Atleast product managers now have to have a serious line item in their PRD. They should label it “connecting the Google dots”.

 If done correctly Jotspot acquisition will help Google take application building to the next level and firmly establish advertisement model on it.  This will flush out lot of commodity application startups from the market. This will have some consequences for the productivity software market.
