Hey everyone,
Quick question out of curiosity.
I work as a manager in a consulting firm, and a lot of my day goes into communicating across platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, LinkedIn messages, etc. Switching between all of them sometimes feels a bit messy.
A couple of things I personally struggle with are important tasks getting buried in chats and constantly jumping between apps to keep up with conversations.
Would be great to hear how you handle this in your day-to-day work.
Not sure what Google has to do with it. It wasn’t made by them. It didn’t even use their services. It’s also technically still around… But it’s primary use is with… Healthcare services. 🤨
Google Talk used XMPP under the hood, so it worked perfectly with Trillian and many other clients.
Except, over time, Google extended Google Talk with features outside the open XMPP specification, and didn’t contribute them back.
Eventually, Google pushed an update that caused alternate clients like Trillian to no longer work with Google Talk.
Google intentionally embraced, extended and did their damnedest to extinguish XMPP, directly causing the largest drop in other Trillian users to connect with - the day that the entire Google Talk network became unavailable to Trillian users.
