Clearly not enough money for that IRC bridge...

  They onboarded the early adopters onto their platform with a promise of openness, got them to switch their company, and now that they're locked-in it's time to tell those early adopters to eat shit. It's deceitful, but its standard operating procedure for SaaS and we've seen it before with Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if IMAP is deprecated from GMail in a few years.

    Sometimes I'm surprised I can still send and receive email via SMTP. Having lived through the hell that was x.400 I'm almost amazed there isn't a billed tier for businesses to go back to those dark days. Although I think we almost were there with exchange/Skype federation.

  I expect we'll start to see a wide variety of integration disappear as they begin locking their customers into the product.
