2013 to 2022. A tombstone in the Google cemetery's densest neighborhood.

## Why it lasted
- The one Google chat that people actually liked, briefly, between Talk and Meet/Chat.

## Near deaths
- Allo, Duo, Meet, Chat. Hangouts was murdered by the org chart.

## What would finish it
- Google's messenger graveyard, 2022. Meet took the calls. Chat took the rest. Nobody took the feeling.
