Comment on Google SketchUp and Team Being Acquired by Trimble

Comments

Is this a first for google? I don't think I've ever heard of them selling a product/team to another company before. If not a first, certainly a rarity.

You're correct, it's rare but it happened before: Google sold its Radio Automation business to WideOrbit Inc. But usually, Google (as any other large tech company) is where acquired tech goes to die - never to be heard from again.
