Maybe because Google has the focus of a crack addled flea?
The same Google that is actively developing three unrelated consumer operating systems that a few years ago introduced three incompatible messaging apps at one event.
- karamanolev 4y agoHeeey, AFAIK all three messaging apps were on one of them. The other two OSes didn't peddle any chat apps.
- scarface74 4y agoI was wrong, they actually had four at the same time. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/allo-duo-google-messenger-hangouts-google-has-three-messenger-apps-too-many/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/allo-duo-goo...
- aikinai 4y agoGoogle has made way too many chart apps, but this article is disingenuous; Duo is a video calling app, not a messaging app.
- scarface74 4y agoI don’t think that’s the argument that you think it is… The other apps also do video.
- UncleMeat 4y agoFuchsia debuted seven years ago and was in development even before that. And it hasn't been cancelled more than 80% of the team remains. Crack addled flea? That's how you'd describe seven years?
- lost_tourist 4y agoI've heard that at google (urban legend?) the best way to advance is to start a promising project that catches the eyes of managers as a potential money maker, get a very basic prototype going, and had it off to a team and then move on to your next big "money maker" idea. The people who "maintain" never really get much attention from management
- baloki 4y agoI think that’s the way at most companies unfortunately. Maintenance is a cost centre while a new product is a potential revenue stream (until it too becomes a cost centre).
