They're idiots when it comes to software patents, which is why patent trolls like GoDaddy can get away with their slimy tactics. Not to mention, it doesn't pass the standards of non-obviousness. The only thing even added to the existing offerings in that market is that GoDaddy will let you pay them for it. How long until they're facing competition from free services that do a better job. Like, for example FriendFeed (which, incidentally, already exists.) Why would GoDaddy be a good acquisition? They have patents, but very little actual value.
