- ugjka 3y agoMust be something Googlers themselves use?
- londons_explore 3y agoding ding ding.
- prepend 3y agoThis is what I imagine. People try to kill it, but there’s thousands of googlers using it and it’s harder to make it internal only than just to keep it running. So every time someone tries to kill the project some fancy pants google person kills the idea because it personally inconveniences them.
- jeffbee 3y agoThis logic doesn't make sense considering how many Googlers used Inbox and Plus and so forth. I imagine they don't kill it because their ads feature where you can click to call the advertiser uses the same infrastructure. It's the ultimate sales conversion tracker.
- prepend 3y agoI think very few googlers cared about Plus. Inbox had a pretty easy substitute as gmail was still around. If Voice goes away there’s nothing else googlers can use, even at reduced functionality.
- jeffbee 3y agoI guess since I never used it I don't understand what this irreplaceable feature is. Isn't it just VoIP?
- prepend 3y agoIt’s voip with a decent web ui and app and seems to work in lots of situations where other voip providers don’t (ie sms). The irreplaceable feature is that if you use it, switching out all your phone parts of your life interface is a pain.
