Google has had every advantage in making communications platforms (counting video chat and/or text chat) and they've bungled every one of their many, many attempts. It's simply incredible. Between owning the most popular smartphone platform, the most popular search engine, and the most popular email platform, they had the wind at their back to say the least.
