Listen "Google Chat is Catching Up To Slack with New Features including Announcement Only Rooms"
Episode Synopsis
A monster episode this week with updates to Chat, Cloud Search, Sites, Access Approvals, Classroom, Drive, and more.
Over Passover, I was offline a lot and had the chance to catch up on some reading and I absolutely tore through Losing the Signal which is the story of the epic rise and eventual fall of Blackberry. They changed how we communicate and not only got completely blindsided by Apple and then Google, they completely refused to believe this is the future people would want. Now I loved my Crackberrys and had many different models over the years including the touch screen Storm Slider, and the design was getting better but the OS was just trash at that point. This book goes behind the scenes and now I know why. They are releasing a new movie based on this book called Blackberry and if you are anything like me, I recommend reading the book and seeing the movie. It releases May 12th.
