Google Quick, Sick and Dead - Reader is ailing, but there's been a turnaround
- manveru 15y agoWhy is google talk listed as dead? It's one of the services I use every day for chat and VoIP (V as in Voice and Video) because of their excellent cross-platform support (life sometimes ain't easy on linux). Also the addition of AIM integration indicates it's very actively being worked on, unfortunately I don't know anybody still using that network. Of course there is still the mysterious lack of VoIP on android, but does that make the whole service useless?
- BarkMore 15y agoPerhaps the author is referring to the Google Talk Windows Client. That thing is dead. As far as I can tell, Google Talk is otherwise alive and well. I use it regularly in Gmail.
- morphoyle 15y agoJust because the social aspect of reader sucks, doesn't make the service useless. I use it extensivly to keep track of posts from dozens of sites. I really couldn't care less about the social aspect of reader, personally. I find it to be a useful aggregator of stories.
