Disclosure

  • Disclosure
    Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. My main employment is as the owner and principal of The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provides two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place more than expenses recently (approx. two years) I will mention that they are a client. I hold equity in Virtual Surveys and provide consulting services to them from time to time. I am paid to run courses for a number of trade bodies and over the last few years clients have included ESOMAR, AMSRS, MRS, and MRIA.

Google acquires WebEx like Marratech

Google appears to be spending like a drunk in a brewery at the moment. Its latest purchase, see Techcrunch, is Swedish startup Marratech (the purchase being for the software not the company).

WebEx is an increasingly common aspect of business meetings and presentations and it was recently purchased by Cisco for US$3.2 billion (twice what Google paid for YouTube and similar to what Google paid for DoubleClick.).

For a while there has been a feeling that Google will be the new Microsoft, in the sense that it will be the company we all love to hate, and whose products we can’t live without.
