1.  Google just got done completing a deal w/ Salesforce, why bother if they were negotiating a purchase of entire company anyway?

2.  Google doesn't need CRM.  CRM's business has nothing to do with search, and is built on top of Oracle databases, whereas Google's entire portfolio is built on BigTable "database".  There's no synergy with owning CRM, frankly it would be a distraction to mgt.

I dunno...

Although I was a finance grad,  I'm not using any of it as this is without 100% confident salesforce.com's business model.  It's based purely on word-of-mouth from folks who see this as a new wave of Customer Rel'p Mgt, which can drive down costs and drive up profits. 

If this company can pick up as much B2B business as other investors are hoping for and my friends continue to pound the table about, this stock is in a move to be quite big among HR.  After all, any innovation that can drive down CRM costs is huge.
