DomainNameWire and eWeek have recently been speculating about a Google acquisition of Godaddy, the world's largest domain name registrar.
Reasons cited include the numerous domain (and sometimes search) related patents which Godaddy has been filing lately, an existing partnership between Google and Godaddy under the Google Aps for Your Domain package, and the vast amount of domain related data Google would gain and be able to potentially leverage to improve search.
When asked about a potential union, Godaddy CEO Bob Parsons told eWeek, "I have no comment on that, but I'd like to."
While a potential acquisition still seems to be complete speculation, Bob Parons' lack of comment may be telling. He is typically outspoken about everything. Many have pointed to his inability to keep quiet as the reason why Godaddy withdrew their IPO in late 2006. On his blog, Parsons referred to the one month quiet period as "suffocating."
