Does anybody knows why Google and Microsoft constantly shuffle their communication apps? Both had the opportunity to be the king but instead they seems to choose to throw away their fortunes? I still remember the times when we used Gtalk as much as MSN messenger and both of those simply disappeared slowly when mobile started dominating and those simply sit tight and did nothing. Then there were numerous replacements and alternatives by both of Google and MS but for some reason they all felt neglected and later shut down. Microsoft bought Skype only to make it worse and shut it down. Considered to buy Discord at some point eventually to abandon the bid. Any insights?
