Hi Vishal,

This is a really crowded industry. The acquisition made headlines but it doesn't really change the landscape much. There are literally scores of open source wikis to choose from and many other companies are getting into the commercial wiki business. Confluence is out front as the most advanced and widely adopted enterprise wiki in the market today. But we're not sitting on our hands waiting for everyone to catch up, nor are we changing our business model because Google acquired JotSpot. We're going to continue to build on our world class product to make it even better.
