It seems that Google buys itself a new toy every month* :

(* Since October 2006)

I wonder what will be the next purchase for this month.

I don't see why they would want to buy photobucket.com. Isn't photobucket the site that everyone goes to upload pics that they want to post on blogs or myspace sites? Why not just increase the limit on everyones picasa web album and leave it at that?

yeah didnt follow your link before...
anyway – yahoo just announced they are shutting down yahoo photo service and want people to go to flikr, therefore google would gain by buying flikr..

But Yahoo already own Flickr! Stefan2904 is right. Use you logic, is YHOO gonna sell To GOOG?

I meant flickER.com (not flickR)

Could you imagine the fun if Google bought it? Woohoo – redirect it to Picasa :-)))

Current rumor is that Google will buy SimplyHired.com soon. Maybe that will be their May purchase.
