google acquired zenter editor

Google announced today that they have acquired, yet, another online presentation creator - Zenter.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve acquired the assets of Zenter, a company that provides software for creating online slide presentations.

No FAQs of the acquisition were given out, the only things on Zenter’s website now are a Google logo, “Google has acquired Zenter. For media inquiries, please contact press@google.com”, and a couple of links to Google’s About page and Privacy Policy.

Here’s my conspiracy theory: when Google acquired Tonic System in April, they probably think that they can easily integrate the product into Google Docs & Spreadsheets, but it turned out to be way harder, “Mission Impossible”-like. So now they snap up another presentation creator to see if they can catch up with the schedule to launched their presentation service by the end of the summer.

Makes perfect sense to me. :)
