Google’s rebranded Writely, linked it with its own Spreadsheets service and put the two of ’em together at Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Mmmm, catchy!
In other Google news, rumours are predicting a Facebook acquisition – and apparently the firm is also working on “sharks with frickin’ laser beams”.

Well, one thing you could never accuse Google of, is catchy, cool names for their products. Or even themselves: a name only a maths nerd could love. Adsense and Adwords are too similar. And I get so annoyed about the Gmail/Googlemail thing: I have clients who got accounts after the UK cutoff date and they look blankly when I say Gmail. Anyway, I predict the same startling lack of success for these as for all their other non-Gmail non-search products.
I do sometimes wonder whether Google’s strategy is driven less by solid business directives and more by overdosing on cartoons and Sunny Delight.
They have a strategy?
