I'm building something on top of Hangouts, and I had an exchange that this reminded me of.

I was finally connected with a developer evangelist, and I sent an email saying something like "would love to know more about Google's strategic goals with Hangouts".

Her response was "I'm sure you're aware that Google doesn't discuss its strategies outside the company".

What a striking cultural difference from startups, where we're constantly discussing our strategies together.

Google doesn't want anyone to know what they're up to. Ironically, they want to know EVERYTHING about what YOU are up to.

Except apparently which blogs you're reading. But I guess they get that and more from Chrome now.
