There's another ex-Googler "local guide" startup at http://www.nextstop.com/. I wonder how they feel about this.

Considering that Ruba was identical in most ways to Nextstop I imagine its a weird turn of events for them. If they ever wanted to be acquired by Google they probably just lost that opportunity

how many ex-Googlers would want to be acquired back by Google? this is getting ridiculous :)
