There are 2 front page stories about Google messaging strategy, both of which were spawned from TheVerge article[0][1] that was posted last night that didn't get as much traction then. Google gave them an exclusive interview and they put together a well detailed piece that is talking about what Google is doing around messaging and why.

- ocdtrekkie 9y agoFWIW, I'd much rather read a journalist's take on what Google is doing with messaging than a Google PR piece from a site which mostly writes PR pieces.[1] But there's probably good cause for multiple threads on the topic to be merged together. [1]Mostly when a company does exclusive interviews with a site, you should be very skeptical of anything that site says on the matter. Especially if they have a design team making custom animations and such for said exclusive article.
- Sgt_Apone 9y agoThe Ars piece is much better researched than the one written by The Verge. In the latter case they seem to make it like RCS is a wholly Google project when its in fact a GSMA thing with several RCS solution providers.
