Is it weird that I just devised a personal rating system for messaging apps? I just ranked Allo as a "No", slightly above WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger which get a "Hell No".

That's how I interpret it. Started a new pot.

Damn. Just broke another coffee cup. Grrr

I suspect it's less so these days but certainly has the feel of someone dedicated 20% thinking towards it. Maybe it's more along the lines of 20% towards marketing rather than the technology? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Just when I was starting to warm up to the idea of going Android again, thinking "this Google stuff isn't too bad if it can be managed properly", I see something like this and realize that it's a trap!

I think even if Google were to do that, they'd never be done with it.

Indeed. I wonder how long this one will last before they start over yet again.

Heh, so this is how Google expects to get adoption for their yet another attempt at a messaging platform. Allo can send you messages on Android even if you dont' install it [androidcentral.com]

I can hear Jony now… "the perfect matching of human in machine and a very personal way"
