I found another reference to the rumor of Google coming to RTP. Note that its all rumors. Nothing has been announced. No concrete evidence exists.
Andy Beal, a local marketing expert, guesses that ChannelAdvisor may be the company to be assimilated. Andy points out how Scot Wingo, founder of ChannelAdvisor, has been blogging about Google Base. Andy also points out that Jason Caplain, in addition to ChannelAdvisor, is also invested in Motricity, the Durham mobile phone software company, and wonders if Motricity could be in Google’s sights.
The blogosphere has been called a giant echo chamber. I’m not helping that reputation by repeating unsubstantiated rumors. I’ll let this story rest for now until some solid evidence comes my way.
