I count seven, and I believe 5 of them were operating simultaneously at one point. There was a surprisingly long period of time when Hangouts and Hangouts Chat, two totally separate products, were running in parallel with those confusing names. Here's my list: - Talk - Hangouts - Hangouts Chat (now called Chat) - Allo - Messages - Voice - Google+ You could arguably throw Groups, Inbox, Wave, and Gmail in there, as well, I guess. I don't know if the product/branding people at Google need to be fired or to be taken seriously for the first time in the company's history, but I wish one of the two would happen.
