Starting
February 16, users will have to move away from Google Talk and embrace
Hangouts, whether they like it or not. Yes, Google is all set to force
users to switch to Hangouts, as it seems to be the future for the search
giant.
This
isn’t surprising as Google had already made it clear as Gtalk was
unavailable for download from Google. Lats year, GTalk was suddenly
replaced with Hangouts and most people started finding it very
confusing. Users looking to download Gtalk were redirected to Google
Hangouts download page.
However,
this week, Google has made it quite clear that GTalk will no longer be
operational starting Feb 16.Moreover, looks like, Google wants to bind
the desktop version to Chrome, forcing users to move to Chrome.Could
WhatsApp churning out a web client be the reason for this?
Most
users are accustomed to the familiar Gtalk interface, which is also
believed to load better than Google Hangout on slow internet
connections.
Though
Google tried to bring everything – phone calls, sms, messaging and
video conferencing – in one place, it hasn’t worked. Hangouts isn’t as
popular as WhatsApp, WeChat or some other messaging apps.
