  • Still lacks a ton of features other messengers, like Telegram, have. Editing and deleting messages is nice to have, but at this point its kind of a minimum viable product

    • This is what... Google's 9th attempt at a chat app? They still don't get it?

      • They used to be so close. Talk was great. Could use it in Adium or Pidgin or whatever else. Then they did hangouts and got close to the sms hybridization, then they killed that and it was the end.

        • So I've heard. Apparently GTalk even worked together with XMPP even. It's astounding to see how Google shits up one thing after another currently.

          • I remember those days!

I had lots of fun with it, but the experience wasnt as kino as it could've been because I didn't really have internet in my house. But when I did have internet when I went to friend's or other family's houses, man I had fun!
