Google Photos Now Has Stories
- Porthos9K 7y agoThat's nice, but since they threw Google Reader and Google+ under the bus I refuse to use Google for anything other than search.
- dawg- 7y agoSurprise! They may have tanked Google+ on the face of things, but they are slowly morphing all of their services into a huge distributed version of the same thing. Combine Google Contacts, Messaging, Gmail, Hangouts, Duo, Photos, News, Maps, Shopping, Calendar, everything on Youtube...all unified by your contacts list. It all looks an awful lot like social networking, it's just slightly more distributed.
- Porthos9K 7y agoI might have cared back in 2012. Now I just want to see Google get the antitrust hammer good and hard. Same with Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Disney, Comcast, Viacom, ConAgra, Cargill, and every other US megacorp.
- dawg- 7y agoThey will get the hammer eventually. But I'm fine with how it has gone so far. Regulation goes in a cycle - someone finds a way to dominate a market with questionable behavior, then regulators crack down. Then it happens again and again and again. They have done some shitty things. But Google has also functioned as the 21st century Bell Labs, complete with the communications monopoly and everything.
- meerita 7y agoStories != Memories. The feature I tested it shows your past pictures. Not bad. Very Similar to Facebook.
