Google's products are more convoluted than Microsoft's now, which is a hell of an achievement. https://t.co/6koh8MAQ7a

i have covered technology for more than a decade, including some of the most wonky debates over decades old utility regulations and the fine details of privacy law

and nothing *nothing* is more confusing to me than google's approach to messaging apps https://t.co/SfG36hiQOW

If Google had just created a Chat app for iPhone and Android in 2009, and then stuck with it, it would probably a far bigger player in messaging now. https://t.co/yfHyeBj5GO

Google Hangouts is finally going away. Like in: All stuff being migrated to Google Chat. Starting the first half of 2021 https://t.co/pPdUaSMtIz

I am at a loss... which chat is this? Hangouts Chat? Or Meet chat (is there such a thing)? Definitely not Buzz... did there use to be a Google Chat? https://t.co/uAfA2jl7WK

HANGOUTS is now CHAT. CHAT part of GMAIL. GMAIL is NOT part of CHAT. HANGOUTS is no longer part of ANYTHING.

Hope this helps. https://t.co/dLjmZ7K8fm

Does anyone have a tally on how many Google messaging products we can still chat in still? I’m just overwhelmed thinking about it. https://t.co/ao4sDpnh1f

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE. YOU COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL. AND YOU RUINED IT. SQUANDERED THE OPPORTUNITY. (Also, video conferencing.) https://t.co/qGwnNY2UII

Google must pay bonuses based on chat rebrandings. That's the only way I can explain this. https://t.co/82Hg1AZbhd

My performance art piece will be dressing like a Roman centurion and doing spoken-word readings of Google's updates about how they're renaming and/or shuttering and/or merging their various messaging platforms https://t.co/mXLukvBh4m

Google Hangouts is really going to disappear. Only reason I (Google Fi customer) haven't moved to Google Messages is that it doesn't work across multiple devices like Hangouts. What does "manage SMS and phone calls" mean? https://t.co/l3XIbwwSnE

Google will let everyone migrate from Hangouts to Chat for free in 2021 https://t.co/uYJHCcKd8x #Google #googlehangouts #Chat #tech pic.twitter.com/hf4YRTd1lq
