- cco 5y agoYou're missing the chat features of Google Maps, Google Pay, and Google Photos...maybe a few others I'm missing?
- slightknack 5y agoDon't forget the built-in chat in google docs that nobody uses! (Yes, the one other than the commenting system).
- cco 5y agoOh my goodness, TIL. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow at work...
- mastax 5y agoYouTube had a chat feature at one point recently.
- google234123 5y agoYou listed a number of services that are closed or have been merged together to be fair. I'm also not sure what the point of listing sms from a phone service is.
- sniperjzp 5y agoListing the messaging App here is like comparing apples to oranges, gRPC and FIDL are for different purposes from technical perspective, people must have evaluated leveraging existing tech vs. creating a new one before the investment.
- malkia 5y agoI've been only for 2-3 years ato google, butit felt like (Ads-team perspective) that protobuf is the building block in google. Some databases can hold as data as protobufs, and then convert these row oriented beasts into multi-million column databases with each protobuf leaf being separate column (!) such that analysts/linguists/statisticians and other scientists can lookup their data quickly (given some latency of minutes to hours).
