Don't forget Allo in the mix, from Google, that could replace Hangouts! Take a product people use, and replace it with something people don't, then replace that with something that people also don't use.
- Crespyl 10y agoI tried Allo once, which was enough. It was actually fascinating, because it was among the most viscerally negative reactions I've ever had to a piece of software. It reminded me of that trick where you play back someone's speech to them in a very slight delay and it becomes very difficult for them to speak, only in this case with my inner monologue while trying to participate in a conversation. Really impressively disturbing and uncomfortable. An amazing feat, but not something I will ever use.
- krzyk 10y agoIsn't Allo video only? Hangouts is first-text, with optional video.
