Same could be said of any large financial company.

1. Amazon buys a bunch of coins
2. Amazon begins accepting Bitcoin
3. MEGA PROFIT

Doesn't Coinbase look a lot like Blockchain.info?
I guess it's just the "bootstrap" styling and glyphicons.
But is this just another server hosted wallet or is it browser based?
I hope it's browser based as there's nothing too exciting about another server hosted wallet for me.
