I think your option is to follow Google´s acquisition roadmap within the latest years. Here you have a complete blog post with all what Google has acquire. Hope it helps!

PS: Bear in mind it´s an article from the 2007, so there must be more to research. For instance, I know they have invested huge money on the social network Aardvark some time ago!

Probably we're talking about this site: http://ok-board.com/

I think that the idea is too simple and too wide-spread for google. It will cost them almost nothing to implement better tool solving this problem by themselves in several weeks. Moreover I think that there is no value in this tool for google.

you are right and you are wrong. Yes, this is the site. Yes, it is that simple! And No, the the idea has value for those who type in other languages but English. All the special characters available in every single language are often essential for the understanding the text. – Serge Jan 12 at 7:21
Well, I've only pointed out that the idea probably worth nothing for google because of it's simplicity. Probably every idea has some value to someone. Target audience for your project is someone who knows English and some mother tongue with special characters. The last point makes me think that you target only a few people. And yes if someone knows how to use latin characters for spelling words of his mother tongue he will live we this. Я бы забыл про эту идею и просто двигался дальше! Удачи в пути :-) – Alex Jan 12 at 20:11
