Hooked. Like social media sites? Wouldn't know anything about that!

Google would quite literally know nothing about it. Look how many they've created and tanked 🤣

  • Buzz
  • Wave
  • Google+ (1,2 & 3)
  • Allo
  • You could include the myriad chat apps, but those could be argued to be more about direct communication at their core

And those are just the Google branded ones. They've had a dozen other smaller acquisitions of services they tried to infuse cash into and keep going that failed as well.
