00:00 - 00:03 | We've been acquired by Google |
00:04 - 00:05 | They don't need or want our messenger product |
00:05 - 00:07 | they are focused on maps, and other things |
00:08 - 00:10 | They want us to shut it down, immediately. |
00:12 - 00:15 | They say they want us working on some Google+ or something. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Do they know how many different IM accounts I have? |
00:19 - 00:21 | I get IMs all day. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | They... |
00:31 - 00:33 | They don't care how many IM accounts you have. |
00:34 - 00:36 | Its not part of their strategy. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everybody out, except for the product managers. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What the hell are they thinking? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Do they know how many users Messenger has??? |
01:18 - 01:23 | And there's no other equivalent product anywhere! |
01:25 - 01:28 | What do they think is going to happen? |
01:29 - 01:31 | We're going back 10 years! |
01:31 - 01:34 | Do you remember having to be on 5 different IM networks? |
01:34 - 01:37 | Downloading a different client for each one? |
01:37 - 01:40 | Keeping them all up to date? |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, they say everybody will be on Google+ soon |
01:42 - 01:46 | I don't have any friends on Google+! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, everybody already has Google accounts, its very easy to activate +... |
01:48 - 01:52 | Nobody wants a Google+ account |
01:53 - 01:54 | Everybody is already on Facebook! |
01:56 - 01:57 | You are getting me off topic again! |
01:57 - 02:00 | Meebo Messenger is what we're talking about here. |
02:00 - 02:03 | I can't believe they are shutting it down |
02:04 - 02:08 | Are you kidding me? |
02:08 - 02:13 | I won't have all of my logs in one central location and easily searchable! |
02:14 - 02:16 | I need to search my logs |
02:17 - 02:21 | Just the other day my mother was telling me about a newspaper article I should read |
02:27 - 02:29 | I can't remember what it was called |
02:30 - 02:34 | So I'm going to look back through my logs... |
02:34 - 02:36 | How am I supposed to do that on Google+??? |
02:41 - 02:42 | Shutting down messenger... |
02:43 - 02:47 | Will I even be able to download my old logs??? |
02:48 - 02:53 | Probably not! Just like every other startup, once they are gone, so are the logs! |
02:54 - 02:56 | knowabout.it |
02:56 - 02:59 | myCirqle, cityPockets |
03:00 - 03:02 | User data just gone! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay Anna, we're already on Google+, you can chat with us there. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Fine, shut it down... |
03:19 - 03:23 | I guess I'll start working on my + profile page. |
03:25 - 03:26 | Meebo... |
03:31 - 03:33 | The end of an era. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Somebody let me know if you find a good equivalent out there. |
03:46 - 03:49 | I don't think I can go back to the way it used to be. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Farewell Meebo, we loved thee well. |
