Is there nothing Google won’t buy? I am waiting for them to buy a city, or a small island, just because they could. Seriously though, Google has picked up Impermium and the announcement was less than extravagant. A small G+ post from Bradley Horowitz coupled with a landing page at Impermium is all that I have seen about it.
Impermium was launched three years ago and was out to help filter and keep the wonderful spam from gracing social channels, bogus comments on blog posts and more. Needless to say, this is going to be a pretty great deal for our inboxes, our Google hosted blogs and anywhere else that spam can attempt to annoy the crap out of us.
