Alphabet acquires JotSpot

Alphabet acquired JotSpot, a transaction announced in October 2006.

JotSpot operates in Collaboration / Google Sites (Google Apps). Google acquired JotSpot, a company founded by Excite co-founders Joe Kraus and Graham Spencer that built easy-to-use wiki software for creating, managing, and sharing information online without needing to know HTML. JotSpot paused new registrations while migrating to Google's infrastructure; its technology later re-launched as Google Sites.

Acquire a proven, accessible wiki-based collaboration platform and team that shared Google's vision for how groups create and share information online.
