Google and Salesforce.com- An Alliance

Wall Street Journal reports that Google and Salesforce.com are discussing an alliance that could help them compete more effectively with Microsoft, meaning not a buyout but a tie-up deeper than the AdWords deal the two have now. It’s a natural alliance of two very smart companies that are leveraging the Internet and their respective business models to the hilt.

The talks are still ongoing and there has been speculation of a deal in the last few months to this effect.The deal could be where a Web-based offering integrates some of Google’s online services such as email and IM with those of Salesforce.com.
