Could not they just replace the XMPP protocol with whatever better protocol, while keeping the GTalk alive.

- delecti 8y agoThey kinda did exactly that. GTalk became Hangouts which is no longer quite XMPP.
- vijaybritto 8y agoIt's kinda sad how they ruined a superb product and replaced with something some par!
- orbitur 8y agoWell, not only did they change the protocol, they ruined the UI too.
- seba_dos1 8y agoX in XMPP stands for eXtensible. They could simply augment XMPP to match their needs better - and guess what, it's exactly what happened in last years. Now XMPP is a good, modern, battery- and UX-friendly IM protocol, with some clients even E2E encrypted by default.
