It’s a Google Buy.com Christmas

 
Google is really pushing their Google Checkout option and have partnered with Buy.com with a strong and very visible promotion.
Google Checkout is still nowhere near the popularity of PayPal, but promotions like this with large and great vendors like Buy.com will continue to spread their name and acceptance across the web.

GoogleBurner

Vincent is proclaiming that it may not be too far down the pike when Google decides to purchase FeedBurner, or some other online companies to expand their presence in an ever widening array of areas.
