There was a point a few years ago when most of my IMing was on Google. Now it's largely moved to Facebook and WhatsApp. So, maybe this is the right decision, but Google had what feels to me like a decisive market lead at one point that they frittered away because they couldn't manage a consistent strategy on messaging. And I guess I need to start trying to find the few stragglers I talk to through Hangouts on other messenger services.

aol - aim yahoo - yahoo messenger microsoft - msn, skype google - talk, voice, hangouts basically every one took too long to adapt to either web or mobile.

  Yes, well, I can understand why mobile was hard on AOL. I have a harder time understanding why the maker of the most popular mobile platform couldn't get their messaging story straight.
