Didn't they have allo? seems like there's zero communication internally at google that they build competing products lol

It seems like at Google creating new stuff gives you promotions, making someone else's project better does not.

Allo was chat with... stuff. Was killed a while ago.

Wait, wasn't that Wave?

Who knows anymore? Google has about 5 different chat products and it's not clear when/why to one over the other.

Ah man, I lost a lot of tech cred among my friends when I was raving about Wave and how it was going to replace everything.
