Together Chat and Meet are the replacement for Hangouts. Meet is also the replacement for Duo.
Except meet is a passive teleconf service; duo allowed you to make Video CALLS, like FaceTime. Google Voice seems to have been added to Enterprise, so I cross my fingers it will prevail.
Meet is for (planned) Meetings.
Chat is for text/audio/video chats/calls.

Exposure Notifications was a great try by Google and Apple. If it weren't a thing, most big government would develop more privacy invasive contact tracing app. It seems that it wasn't worked well, but still a great try.
I trust my government much more than I trust Google and Apple not to invade my privacy.
Yet another business Google bails on. Add that to the pile. Gee wonder why Google Cloud is getting smashed by AWS and Azure—maybe because nobody trusts Google to not flake out on that business or key products within it. They need some management changes!
This! Google has a history and present strategy of making reactive moves to please shareholders. I’m shocked the masses trust them with email. When can we go back to decentralized self-hosted?

I already migrated from Keep just for this reason. It's ok to make temporary notes there but for long lasting organisation I prefer a different solution
What did you pick?

They've killed off almost 300. They have ~100 left. https://about.google/intl/ALL_us/products/ What do you think will go next? I'm sure some of these will bite the bullet this year. 1. Exposure Notifications (maybe in 2-3 years) 2. Google Arts and Culture <- this one has to be expensive to maintain 3. Keep 4. Scholar 5. Tilt Brush 6. Google Lens 7. Google Groups 8. Google Drawings
To be fair, 100 globally scaled products is quite a lot. They try to churn out a lot stuff, and if they don’t achieve enough adoption, they cancel it. It’s a reasonable business decision.

Google extensively uses groups internally for all sorts of things... not sure they could realistically kill it and still function.
I also figured hosting domains had to be pretty much zero effort and thus passive profit.
Can’t wait for all the Squarespace spam to hit!

Porkbun is an excellent choice, I love their support! I wish they supported .ca domains (the only reason I'm using NameSilo) but when I asked in the past, they said they have no future plans to.
Just wanted to let you know that we recently onboarded .ca! We're slowly growing out our ccTLD portfolio too so if there are others folks have been waiting on please let us know so we can prioritized.
Just moved my sole Google Domains domain to Porkbun in literally 6 minutes from account onboarding to transfer completion.
