The Google and eBay announcement

By My status Jaanus on August 28, 2006 in News, events, milestones.

Google and eBay just [announced](http://investor.ebay.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=209064) a major multi-year cooperation agreement. Skype plays a major part in the Click-to-Call plans.

Google

Regarding interoperability, the following quote regarding Google Talk and Skype is interesting.

> The companies will also explore interoperability between Skype and Google Talk via open standards to enable text chat and online presence.

What does all this mean in detail? We'll see next year, as testing of all these new joint initiatives is said to begin in early 2007. For now, one thing is sure -- great companies working together is always exciting news.
