He may return from exile if Smythe posts a poll and the motion passes. Cremnob will still have to deal with a YOSPOS that now has 2 mods, including Smythe and he must no longer post ads for anything no matter what for these are the conditions of his parole if granted.

The poll will have 3 days to allow votes after which all results are final.

you know he's incapable of not posting ads though

45 degree view was actual aerial photography, very sharp for the most part. no 3D modelling just put on a flat plane like regular satellite view.

3D view is chunky hosed up horseshit and i dont know why google and apple keep pursuing this crap, it all looks so bad. every time i use google maps i turn off 3D

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2016/05/26/gchat_was_the_future_of_messaging_why_did_google_make_other_chat_products.html

virtually the same ideas failed at Google, but succeeded elsewhere. Google says they have a "fail quickly" strategy that eliminates "bad ideas" quickly. they don't realize the ideas aren't the problem, it's their execution. if i'd written this, it would be more about Wave preceding Slack but failing in the same category.

quote:

Everyone has been talking about Slack lately. The chat app, which is primarily aimed at offices and productivity, is simple, well designed, fun to use, and powerful. Slack is also the company people were obsessed with in 2015. Whether you love the product or not, though, it�s time to admit something: Slack is just Gchat.

...

Presenting the new version as a rebrand and replacement seemed to confirm the suspicion that Google didn�t really love Gchat the way users did. And it was also the moment where the company's vision for chat stopped making sense. In its company history, Google writes that as of May 2013 Hangouts �will be Google�s single communications system, replacing Google Talk, Google+ Hangouts and Messenger.� Yet Google Messenger still exists alongside Hangouts. And there are even still some holdout users on old-style Gchat.

Last week, Google announced an instant message app and a video chat app, called Allo and Duo respectively, that incorporate personalization through machine learning. The company also announced a collaboration and productivity app called Spaces the week before that mixes multimedia sharing and in-app web browsing with chat.

This seems like, well, a lot of communication options. A Google spokesperson told me in a statement that, �With Allo and Duo, we�ve focused on starting from the ground up, building mobile-only single-purpose apps. Hangouts on the other hand is a strong multiplatform app, serving the needs of users in productivity and group scenarios.� Google seems to add new brands whenever they build new products, even when there is extensive overlap in functionality.

From an internal perspective it makes sense to start with a clean slate and then show off exciting and novel work. �We didn't want to weigh down the [engineering] team with decisions from previous products,� Erik Kay, Google's engineering director for communication software, told CNET on Sunday. But from the consumer perspective, these name changes can read as redundant and disrespectful to beloved products that could be improved instead of phased out. (RIP Google Reader.)

In a meditation on Digital Trends about Google�s glut of communication apps, Andy Boxall wrote that Google was �vomiting out three new messaging apps. � Which one should we use? If you�re not sure, don�t look at Google. Based on its confused approach to messaging, it doesn�t have a clue either.� This speaks to the idea that Google had something much more valuable than it realized with Gchat. Back in 2005 and 2006 the company was offering the foundation of what would become the next big trend. Gchat was simple, elegant, and most importantly, focused. That's all gone now.

Beyond just Slack, Google was five or six years ahead of WhatsApp, GroupMe, and Facebook Messenger on offering a fun, functional chat app with lots of features. The company could have won the day if it understood what it had. In fact it�s still common to hear people calling any Google communication product Gchat. It�s an impressively powerful brand, especially given that it never existed.

googles messenging products are their biggest org chart leakers - why improve existing products when you can be greenfield and have faster turnaround from not dealing with legacy cruft and interruption; looks great on your PA!

I wonder if it's only that way on their non-paying user side

go look at Bing birds eye view. googles was similar but had newer imagery in some areas, and covered some areas that Bing didn't.

fixing an existing product isn't going to fill out your OKRs. to get something meaty enough to get past the promo committee, you need to start from scratch.
