Posted November 11, 2014 Do you personally use Google Plus and/or Hangouts? If yes, do you like it? If no, why not? I use it, only to bitch at @Victor Yiu "Rawr XD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 11, 2014 Yap. It's not iMessage. Being serious though, it's a whole lot easier to know if the other person has read it rather than sending a followup text; 'Did you get my last message?' amongst other stuff.

Posted November 11, 2014 I use Google Hangout as my text message app on my phone, but I don't know if that counts. On the desktop, i don't use either.

Posted November 11, 2014 I use Hangouts rather than Skype whenever I can. I also use Gmail enough to the point where it can be justified that I use it as a sort of texting service. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted November 11, 2014 I dislike skype for some reason. I dislike Skype because people can get your IP without even trying. Don't go on about the settings, all they have to do is add you or get someone else's password. Not hard, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 12, 2014 I don't use google plus but I use hangouts. Hangouts is amazing for my friend group; its way better than a facebook group and leagues better than group messaging.

Posted November 12, 2014 Hangouts instead of Skype, SMS, Teakspeak, and any other messaging. All my friends agree. But, steam messaging is useful still. 5800X3D - RTX 4070 - 2K @ 165Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 12, 2014 Yes I use hangouts. I use it because it is better than any stock messaging app on any phone. I use it because it has a PC interface so I don't have to go to my phone every time I want to send someone a message. I do however, hate it because it still has a long way to go. It's not bad by any means... but it's nowhere close to where it should be.

Posted November 12, 2014 Text messages are fine for me and I don't know a single person who uses G+; so no on both accounts. Rule with your heart, And live with your conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 12, 2014 I don't use either. I'm not a social person, I stay away from those "social media" services.And I prefer chatting over talking/seeing my friends' ugly mug, so a proper IM client like Trillian is preferable over Hangouts.

Posted November 12, 2014 I use Hangouts because when I only had a S3 with no service (hand-me-down wifi only) it let me send pictures and see if someone read the message.I now own a Nexus 5 with hangouts as the default messaging app. I do use the desktop client acctionally but I many use my Nexus or S3.

Posted November 12, 2014 The only time I ever use any google messaging is when I'm working on things with people in google docs/drive, and I use the messenger in that. Otherwise Skype is it really.
