今天，以云计算为中心的IM初创公司Meebo的幕后人员在公司博客上证实，该产品将被谷歌收购。用他们的话说：

We are happy to announce that Meebo has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Google!

For more than seven years we've been helping publishers find deeper relati***hips with their users and to make their sites more social and engaging. Together with Google, we're super jazzed to roll up our sleeves and get cracking on even bigger and better ways to help users and website owners alike.

We've had a blast building Meebo so far and we're really excited to start the next leg of our journey.

在这一消息公布之前，5月份有报道称，谷歌正在考虑收购该公司。当时，AllThingsD声称要价在1亿美元左右，不过具体数字尚未透露。该公司最近从一个直接的云聊天客户端转向个人社交指标和竞争性分享的奇怪混合体。看来谷歌对Meebo最近开始提供的“社交发布者”工具最感兴趣。

谷歌的一位发言人刚刚分享了该公司的一份声明，提供了该公司对移动的看法（并相当明确地表示，Meebo团队将与Google+团队整合）：

We are always looking for better ways to help users share content and connect with others across the web, just as they do in real life. With the Meebo team's expertise in social publisher tools, we believe they will be a great fit with the Google+ team. We look forward to closing the transaction and working with the Meebo team to create more ways for users to engage online.
