description: I'm excited that Google acquired Deja, giving me a powerful tool to search Usenet archives. It’s also a great sign that Google has the capital for acquisitions, showing their growing influence in the search landscape.

[Google bought Deja](http://groups.google.com). I don't know which is better news -- that they have money to buy companies, or that I can now search the Usenet.
