    I am sure a multi-billion corp will snap it up but not Google.

    Hmmm ... Google does tend to become a ACME of the Internet . So a takeover by Google might improve the service reliability but might screw up tech support .

    I'm not using GoDaddy because I've read quite a bit of unfavorable reviews about it but i would hate to get a mail stating : "We have received your message and we'll respond in the next 7 days" .

    I'm not sure how the customer support for GE is today but I've heard they're great at it . I'd like to see something similar for a giant like GoDaddy . It will certainly push the quality standards higher . And I do hope that the new owner will change the creepy mascot .

    I think $1 Billion is insufficient amount for GoDaddy! I guess it is starting BID of the Auction

    Where did you heard about that ? :)
    Anyway I doubt Google will be interested coz GD doesn't seems to really fit into their plan.
    Companies like Intuit is a much more possible candidate.
    Remember that Google,Microsoft or FB is not the only company with a multibillion budget ^^
    Anyhow would be interested in the outcome.
