Google buys Wildfire
Considering the bulk of their offering is marketing tools for facebook, I'm really curious what this means exactly.

Unless this is a very expensive aqui-hire, it does complicate the current narrative that Facebook marketing is without value.

Not necessarily. They're not Facebook-only, and it's entirely possible Google may have Wildfire focus more on upcoming Google+ API stuff in the future.

I suppose it means that a bunch of the tools that made Facebook attractive to marketers are now owned by a primary competitor to facebook.
