Yesterday at the Google I/O 2016 conference they announced several new products. In the video below I provide my thoughts about the new collaboration/communication tools Allo, Duo and Spaces.
Some topics include:
- Where do these tools fit into the portfolio? How do they compare the Messenger and Hangouts? Remember GChat, GTalk, Google Voice? Wave? Buzz?
- No matter how good the new tools are, how do you get people to use them versus Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, FaceTime, SnapChat and others? It’s like Google+ vs Facebook, the best tool does not always win, as what matters most is where your network is?
- How will these tools integrate with Gmail, and Google Apps for Work
