Gundotra was a great showman. When he announced Hangouts and the replacement for Talk, I was excited and interested! With his clever skills, he managed to conceal the fact that it was a piece of junk that did away with the most useful features of Google Talk, and so I have never upgraded Talk.
Clever showman.
EDIT: Why the downvotes? Gundotra was a good showman. Hangouts also removed features from Talk, eg. is someone actually online when I want to talk to them. Was this wrong? Or was someone angry about these facts?
- Grue3 12y agoYou bet somebody got angry. There are all sorts of fanboys who start foaming at the mouth as soon as they see a perceived slight of their sacred cow. For some reason, these tend to be the same sort of people who accumulate scores high enough to be able to downvote on HN.
- 72deluxe 12y agoHaha, thanks. I do not yet have scores high enough to be able to downvote, but I wonder if that's because I keep saying things that people downvote? Very Joseph Heller.
