Or will they simply be crushed as giants from related industries introduce their own products? Although Unica, Alterian and SmartFocus have purchased complementary products, these were extensions around the campaign management core.

When you think of lead nurturing platforms you typically think of firms like Eloqua, Marketo, Aprimo, LeadLife, Market2Lead, Silverpop, even Salesforce.com is getting into the lead nurturing space. But Facebook? Even conduct the sale with payment options like PayPal in the future.

- Entrepreneurs: these products are aimed at companies where the owner does their own marketing, or perhaps one employee who does marketing along with other functions. Most offer a CRM option (typically priced at $10 to $20 per seat per month) for companies who don't want to pay for Salesforce.com.

This is a bit perplexing, since those products are at the opposite ends of the spectrum: Marketo being relatively low cost / limited functionality / easier to learn, and Eloqua being higher cost / richer functionality / takes more training.

Oracle tersely announced today that it had purchased the intellectual assets of demand generation vendor Market2Lead. This is an excellent fit for Oracle in that Market2Lead is a sophisticated product that is best suited to large, demanding marketing operations.

Summary: Oracle has integrated marketing automation with its on-demand CRM product. If I were more on the ball, I would have noticed that May 25 marked a full year since Oracle bought the intellectual property* of high-end B2B marketing automation vendor Market2Lead. Will competitors do the same?

This isn’t necessarily so terrible, although your negotiating position will be weak and you might have missed another, better product. So, the bottom line is that you really do need to look at product details early in the selection process. SFDC" stands for Salesforce.com.) Now you’re really in trouble.

However, many tech buyers visit vendor Web sites many times to learn about and compare products, yet few register or leave evidence of their activity. I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz. So, take my comments with a grain of salt.
