It suggests that neither Oracle nor Eloqua management felt the company was substantially undervalued. Oracle does have an existing B2B marketing automation product, based on the technology it acquired from Market2Lead in 2010.

In practice, this means that only very small companies will actually be able to use the free system as their primary long-term marketing system.

What does this mean for companies interested in adopting Marketing Automation? They are great for small companies and small initial projects, but they’re too limited for normal projects.

I spent a good part of yesterday talking with demand generation vendors about the usability scores I've been publishing all week.

As of April 29, I've received 40 responses, of which I've discarded two as incomplete and two because they related to vendors I considered irrelevant ( Zoho and Ad Giants PitchRocket). One measure of this is the distribution of vendors reported by the respondents, which clearly doesn't reflect the installed base of the industry.
