conferencing software company, should lead into Google Talk
becoming more competitive with eBay’s Skype and other services.

Google Talk has been a relatively stripped down option for
online communication, especially when comparing it to messaging
products from Skype, Microsoft, and Yahoo. Now that the company
has celebrated its first quarter earnings by announcing
tremendous revenue growth (though profits were flat), they
promptly made Marratech a beneficiary of their good fortune.

The purchase is being couched in terms of helping out Google’s
internal workers videoconference from their desktops, wherever
that desktop may be so long as a Net connection is available.
Amit Agarwal noted how Marratech’s Java client works with
Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.

It could even be a competitor to WebEx, the web conferencing
company networking giant Cisco recently purchased. Marratech’s
capabilities include similar ones like hosting virtual meetings
and sharing desktops with other participants.
