The latest news happening in Google is its latest acquisition of messenger service Meebo. It’s assumed that Google has taken this step in order to strengthen its Facebook competitor Google + service.

You can see the same announcement in the Meebo blog,

“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 relationships 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.

Thank you all for coming along for the ride!

Meebo Team”

Well in simple words when Google does something it’s an indication that they are planning something big. This is what happened when it acquired services like Blogger, YouTube etc. So we can wait and watch for more.
