Google continues to acquire…and not to integrate.

Google’s had a recent spurt of activity with their potential $3.1 B purchase of DoubleClick, a partnership deal with ClearChannel, and their acquisition of Tonic and announcement of a PowerPoint competitor.
I have been using Google Apps for Your Domain and Google Docs and Spreadsheets a lot lately and I really wish that Google would focus on integrating the +80 products they already have instead of continuing to grow their portfolio. To date the only product they have officially shut down in Google Answers. They bought YouTube but still have Google Video running. I can login to Apps for Your Domain directly but I can’t use that login through Gmail. I have an old JotSpot account and I can see through that account that Google has some awesome features in there, but they haven’t opened up JotSpot since they bought it over 6 months ago and they have no wiki product in Apps for Your Domain or Docs and Spreadsheets…but both of these are supposed to be one-stop-shops for small business information infrastructure.
Grrrr…….
