Google uses anti spam firm

Now its Googles time to expand, since buying the anti spam and business security firm Postini last year for $625 million, they have virally left it alone to run its own business as it was doing before the purchase but it now seems that things are about to change.

Google is no longer just about search, it is so much more than that now. They have been pushing the Google Apps, but it seems that they are more interested in a larger and more lucrative market, they intend to market Google Apps for business and the purchase of Postini will help them achieve this ambition.

Postini has a spam product that will work with most email clients for around $3 per year, if this is combined with Googles other security products the cost is probably going to be starting at around $25 per year, which is still very good for businesses.
