Google means business. Continuing its spending extravaganza, the search engine giant has announced its acquisition of Panoramio, a geographical location based photo sharing site developed by two Spanish entrepreneurs, Joaquin Cuenca Abela and Eduardo Manchon Aguilar.
Panoramio allows users to store and organize their photographs just like other photo sharing sites. The unique feature of Panoramio is that it enables geographical location of those photos and views them in Google Earth and Google Maps.
Since Panoramio has associated with Google from this year, the acquisition is not surprising.
Launched in October 2005, the photo sharing site has archive of more than one million photographs by March 2007. I am sure Panoramio will bring appealing as well as valuable content to Google products.
