After seeing the site the first thought in my mind was "Is this a Google company?" and so went to the about and privacy pages. And in 10 min I find this place all a coincidence? Good if true.

To the extent that this rumored acquisition would help Google sync contacts - it's a very good thing. My opinion is that Google Apps for Domains is a Microsoft Office and Microsoft Exchange killer. It's not that way TODAY - but someday soon users are going to tire of having to load software to their individual machines. It's so very convenient to use applications that are web based. Changing computers or working remotely can happen with no IT involvement or additional hassles. Google is leading the charge to this - and I think any acquisition that lets you synchronize contacts with Google will be very welcome (Note: Google currently has the ability to Sync Blackberry handhelds to both email and calendar. The biggest missing piece of the puzzle is a sync for contacts) Google needs some sync ability for their contacts.
