If you take a look at all of their services, you\u2019ll find a series of communications platforms that don\u2019t interact with each other very well, if at all. Google Talk, Hangout, Voice, Messenger, Chat for Drive collaboration, and the pseudo Google Talk for G+ all function just a little differently from one another. The only two to really function together are Google Talk for Gmail and G+, but ask anyone using the two systems and you\u2019ll hear just how bad things are right now.<\/p>\n<p>Although Babble would be a boon to Google users, other services, such as Skype or AOL&#8217;s AIM, probably won&#8217;t get to share the love. As Geek notes, Google has been moving toward building its own closed communications platform, walling off other services that don&#8217;t use the same open-chat platform (called XMPP). However, the report says Babble will have notably good quality and performance.<\/p>\n<p>When will Babble be officially unveiled? That would be at the Google I\/O developer&#8217;s conference in May, Geek says, which makes a great deal of sense. That will also likely be when Google shows off the new version of Android &#8220;Key Lime Pie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked to comment, a Google spokesperson declined to speculate on rumors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is looking to combined its all communication services into a single product, which is expected to be called Babble,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5,1],"tags":[21,54,751,1784,1791,978,1787,1785,65,1649,1786,1788,1789,1790],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Google Is Looking To Bring All Its Communications Products Under Babble<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Google is looking to combined its all communication services into a single product, which is expected to be called Babble, a new report says.
