I see your teams, and raise you: • Slack post-salesforce. • google hangouts • Google hangouts • increasingly, Discord.
Google is worse, but no one knows about it because no one uses it.
I think we're on google chat and google meet (both separate for some reason) now. Before we had hangouts which could do both, and google duo, for just video calling, before we had allo, but before that we had google talk.
We have everything because there were different groups and changes along the way, and no one wanted to put in the effort or lose anything.
Now things are mostly in teams, but files are not on SharePoint but Box, making it even more ridiculous.
I loathe how messy my work laptop is with all these different variations of... Messaging.
Did you mean google hangouts or google chat or google meet or google voice or google messages?
Don't forget Duo, Allo, and Spaces
I still miss Google wave.
Wave was actually on to something because it had the capabilities to be federated like email but more modern.
