Good to see a partial Melbourne based/originated team Tonic (there was a bar of the same name in South yarra yah ?) be bought by google for its 2.0.ppt'ness. Wonder if there is a Mountain View relocation to happen, or will Melbourne get it's first little micro-tweetrd googleplex ? There needs to be a gin'n'tonic meetup, get it. Caffeine not yet fully effective. Do not try this at home nor your office.

Google Blog : "Tonic, which we've just acquired, is based in San Francisco and Melbourne, Australia. They have some great technology for presentation creation and document conversion, and it will be a great addition as we add presentation sharing and collaboration capabilities to Google Docs & Spreadsheets."

From the now redirecting Tonic site (which makes me ponder when jotspot will relaunch and not be dodgeballed) : "Tonic Systems is a San Francisco-based company that provides Java presentation automation products and solutions for document management - Tonic Systems Builder, Tonic Systems Filter, Tonic Systems Transformer, Tonic Systems Viewer, and JarJar Links. Features of their products included text extraction for indexing documents, presentation creation capabilities and document conversion tools."
