Would anything get you to use Google Chat with friends?
Would anything get you to use Google Chat with friends?
With Apple’s RCS for iPhone announcement, Google is undoubtedly moving full steam ahead on Messages and RCS as its consumer...
Is this a rhetorical question? 😂

If I needed a message system that I knew would make messages unavailable after a few years because it was shut down by a company that never supports side projects this would be a valuable service.
This, never commit to any Google products beside search, maps, mail and Android
I learned that lesson with Google+. I loved it back in the day, then suddenly they just canned it.
It's still available in their business accounts. :P
LMAO TIL, I think it is a wasteland isn't it?
yeah, pretty much.
But what about our Lord and Savior, RCS?
That's ironic, because Google Chat to this day has migrated chats over from Hangouts and effectively served messaging for over a decade. But even Hangouts migrated chats over from Google Talk, which I personally used at least as far back as 2010.
To put that into perspective, Apple's iMessage has only been around since 2011.
You have no idea how many messages I had in Wave. Do you realize how many Google messaging services have come and gone with zero portability?
