I glanced at the headline and for an instant thought that it said they are killing off Google Maps and got excited because OpenStreetMaps could finally shine.
I miss Google Talk. The original desktop application from the time before "app" was commonplace. It had a clean interface, uncluttered unlike AIM, and the voice calls were high quality.
Hangouts was worse than it in just about every way. Nowadays I just use discord since everyone else is using it as well.
Thank God. I own a business and this thing was obnoxious. Google promoted it heavily as a feature businesses should turn on to improve ranking. But it was junk.
