@Zak8022 if it’s of any consolation, it’s a Google messaging platform. Its days are limited. #googletalk #googlehangouts #googleduo #googleallo etc

Maybe the key to finding cool ppl on #mastadon is using lots of ironic and obscure #hashtags and then going down the rabbit hole to find the kind of people that #toot about #friendster and #myspace and #googlePlus and #googleBuzz and #googleHangouts instead of boring old #twitter... Sort of a #longTail strategy

Can’t believe how deep I dug into some of Google’s products in the past..
The 2 main problems I have with #Google products is:

#Obsolescence
Anyone remember #GoogleInbox #GoogleDuo #GoogleAllo #GoogleHangouts #GoogleStadia or #WorksWithNest? (KilledByGoogle.com)
Why would I buy a product that I know won’t be supported a year later?

And
#Privacy
I feel alone with the concern over privacy. The concerns I have advertising profiles being built with our data, #Ai being trained with our data, and governments given access to our data.

I’ve been slowly replacing them all, mostly with #Apple products; the lesser evil.

#GWB - Google gibt Messenger-Markt auf: (Fast) letzte Produkte wurden eingestellt & Konzentration auf Business-Apps - https://www.googlewatchblog.de/2022/11/google-messenger-markt-fast/ #googlehangouts #googleduo #Google

Tues #Google finally hung up #GoogleHangOuts for good. Another for the Google Graveyard!

For those keeping score:

Google Hangouts (2013-22) was spun out of
Google+ (2011-19) which replaced
Google Buzz (2010–2011) which replaced
Google Wave (2009–2010). https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/11/rip-google-hangouts-googles-last-best-chance-to-compete-with-imessage/

Kann und muss an dieser Stelle wieder auf #BigBlueButton hinweisen.
Verwende es für meine eigenen Webinare und bin wirklich zufrieden damit.
Muss man übrigens auch nicht selbst hosten, es gibt Provider dafür.
Mit #Zoom, #MSTeam oder #GoogleHangouts arbeiten nur diejenigen, die damit arbeiten wollen oder die keine Alternativen kennen.

The Great #GoogleHangouts Shutdown begins October 2019 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/the-great-google-hangouts-shutdown-begins-october-2019/

The only way I can understand Google’s overarching messaging strategy is that it is done out of spite for humanity and our need to communicate.

‪Welp...‬

‪Back to ICQ for me!‬
