Google launches Voice and Video Chat Service
Ever since Google purchased Marratech's web collaboration software back in April 2007, it was just a matter of time before they would launch their very own video chat service as an extenstion to the growing set of Google apps. Well, the wait is over. Google has integrated the new feature into the existing Google Chat service. The new service makes use of the Logitech webcams that Skype helped specify, using the Carl Zeiss lens. I have one and I have found the quality to be very good. Speaking of Logitech.... they just purchased Sightspeed for about $35M.
One more interesting note here.... if you travel to Marratech's website, you'll find them now promoting Elluminate's web collaboration service.
