JotSpot is now part of Google

This is the mail they sent users-

“We’re writing to let you know that Google
has acquired JotSpot. We believe this is great news for our users. More
importantly, we want to reassure you that you’ll continue to have uninterrupted access to your account.
Both Google and JotSpot are committed to supporting our customers, and
we understand that users have invested a lot in our products. In the
near-term, we’re focused on migrating JotSpot to Google’s systems and
datacenters. We’ll work hard to make that move as seamless as possible
so that customers won’t be inconvenienced.

Why is Google acquiring JotSpot?

Google
shares JotSpot’s vision for helping people collaborate, share and work
together online. JotSpot’s team and technology are a strong fit with
existing Google products like Google Docs & Spreadsheets and Google
Groups.

What does this mean for JotSpot customers?

We
believe that joining Google will accelerate our team’s vision of
offering users the best collaboration platform on the web. Google
shares that vision and presents us with the world’s best environment
for delivering on it. We’ll be taking advantage of Google’s world-class
systems infrastructure and operations expertise to ensure that access
to your JotSpot is fast and reliable. We can’t share any of our plans
publicly just yet, but we can tell you that we’re incredibly excited
about the possibilities. We can’t think of a better company to have
been acquired by.

Will paying customers still be charged?

We
will no longer be billing customers for the use of the service.
Although you will still have use of the product at your current pricing
plan, we won’t charge you anymore when your current billing cycle
expires.

What about security and privacy?

Your
data is yours — that doesn’t change at Google. We will continue to work
to ensure the privacy and security of your data. Furthermore, Google is
as committed to privacy and security as we are. Since the user
information you provided to JotSpot will soon be transferred to Google
as part of their acquisition of JotSpot, we want to provide you with
the opportunity to retrieve your user information and cease usage of
the JotSpot service before the transition. If you do not wish to
continue using JotSpot, send an email to privacy@jot.com in the next sixty days and we will reply with
instructions for retrieving your user information.

Answers to more frequently asked questions are available at http://www.jot.com/. If you have any other questions, please email support@jot.com.

In
closing, we wanted to offer our sincere gratitude to you — our
customers — for believing in us and helping us achieve success. We look
forward to continuing that relationship at Google.

Best wishes,
The JotSpot Team
