 <title>Salesforce.com to receive acquisition offer by end of quarter</title>
 <link>http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/salesforce-com-receive-acquisition-offer-end-quarter</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Editor&#039;s Note: This did not occur in the alloted time, and has been paid out at S$0. The community was correct.  -- The Industry Standard. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rumors have &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.zdnet.com/Foremski/?p=240&quot; title=&quot;Salesforce.com acquisition&quot;&gt;started up again&lt;/a&gt; around Salesforce.com shopping for a suitor.   Talks have apparently occurred with Google as well as with Oracle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This prediction is for Salesforce.com to receive an acquistion offer.  The prediction does not require Salesforce to accept, but simply to receive a publicly confirmed acquisition offer by the end of Q1. &lt;/p&gt;
