Google Acquires Marratech
Today, Google announces it has acquired Web-based video conferencing and collaboration solutions provider Marratech.
As a company, we thrive on casual interactions and spontaneous collaboration. So we’re excited about acquiring Marratech’s video conferencing software, which will enable from-the-desktop participation for Googlers in videoconference meetings wherever there’s an Internet connection.
We look forward to learning from the extraordinary ingenuity of Marratech’s engineers as they focus on desktop conferencing research and development in Sweden, where they will continue to be located.
Google explained Marratech’s technology will help “enable from-the-desktop participation in videoconference meetings..." but nobody’s buying that explanation, thinking instead that the company wants to add video to Google Talk.
