I'm all for Google fixing their mess of communications platforms, but by attempting to consolidate those into a proprietary solution, I fear they've doomed it to the same fate as Google Wave.
If they were to at least include support for XMPP clients, they would be golden; however, the opposite appears to be true.
- xradionut 14y agoAfter they captured a good chunk of the RSS eyeballs, then pissed off the users, I'm wary of anything Google does. I'm going to have to spend a significant amount of time decoupling myself from their existing services.
- MrTw3Tea 14y agoYea, I think that sentiment is being felt by quite a few. I'm in the process of doing a little spring cleaning myself.
- fakeer 14y agoGood idea. Me too. I think Google is not much concerned about the crowd which loves to brew its own coffee(HN and the elk) and curate their Ghostery/ABP prefs, but they are rather focussed on the majority which loves to buy things online and also click on ads and hardly care how much Google reads their email.
