It really is devaluing the brand. Bring back Google Talk.

Google had corporate/cross platform messaging before it was cool. Gmail, Google Talk was a killer combo for our small teams.

Dumb dumb dumb.

Google Talk was perfect. PER-FECT. Of course they killed it!

They didn't even properly kill it, they just let it slowly stagnate.

Like they're doing with Hangouts now. No real new features have appeared in years.
