Google Acquires TalkBin

Google has acquired TalkBin, a company founded by Wufoo, a Y-Combinator alum. TalkBin is a service that gives customers the chance to give feedback to local businesses. Here's the big kicker - TalkBin has been running for less than five months. 5 months. That's amazing.

I'm not sure why exactly Google needs a local-feedback team, but let's see where this goes. It seems to have been run by some quite intelligible people, and being backed by YC definitely didn't hurt them. I'm interested to see how this plays out. Chances are, the TalkBin app itself is going to be dumped and the group will give support on Google's mobile/local initiatives.
