So I guess this Meetro forum here at GC will be useless now if this is true.

Meetro denies Google rumors
Download Squad wrote:
This may not mean it ain't so, since companies deny rumors all the time only to later prove them right, but Meetro is insisting that reports of a Google deal to acquire the service are not true. In an interview with Randy Morin, Meetro's Wendell Davis says "We've talked with some people there — they were aware of us before the story broke — but the fact of the matter is that no acquisition is taking place."
