Google adding e-commerce features may sound like a "me-too" thing to do right now, but it adds value to their services. Imagine if you can make purchases directly from Google search results (and ads, supposedly), or at least give businesses an easy way in with micro-payments, etc.

On the other hand, they'll have stiff competition from eBay, etc... But still... It'll be interesting to see how this develops.
