| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | cindych | 3/6/12 1:24 PM | Hi Alex, We've retired Google Talk status updates. Please go here for additional details: http://support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=144215 - Cindy |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | alexxgrig | 3/6/12 1:41 PM | Dear Cindy!!!! BUT WHY???? It was VERY IMPORTANT for me, NOT ONLY FOR ME!!! WHY........ :( |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | cindych | 3/7/12 11:00 AM | Sorry alexxgrig =(, Retiring features is always a tough decision, but part of building experimental features is picking the best ones on which to focus. Rest assured, we’re continuing to developing great features. And I'll definitely take your feedba |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | SethL | 3/8/12 6:03 AM | Man... this is very disappointing. Using the talk status was very important for keeping my family members in the loop with my travels who don't have a phone that is able to use Latitude. Anyone have an alternate solution to broadcast your status in a |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | alexxgrig | 3/8/12 6:13 AM | You can place latitude gadget to igoogle page at first. 2. You can add this gadget to the Google using Labs. It's not so wonderful as Gtalk status update, but it will keep your family fully informed about your location. I also add location badge lin |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | SethL | 3/8/12 6:20 AM | Yeah, I am pretty sure taking away features doesn't add users. Just like they did with Google + they are nudging you to use a product you don't necessarily want to. Just another reminder that I need to remove all of my personal and business reliance |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | takaides | 3/10/12 4:31 PM | Take more feedback to the team. This feature will be sorely missed. As a frequent traveler, this feature was quite helpful to me and friends who wanted to reach me. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Snippe1 | 3/12/12 4:02 PM | Dear All, This is very disappointing, I am using a lot of google apps and this one was one i really liked to keep my family aware where I am at all times.why did they removed this feature, even if it was not supported any more it worked fine. Does it |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | talitom | 3/14/12 9:35 AM | such a shame. This was a really easy way for friends/family/colleagues to see where I was, although they were more amused when it occasionally had me in Mexico when I was in London!! |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Liquidrain7 | 3/15/12 9:07 AM | Cindy - Please tell the team to re-enable this feature. This feature works great and is extremely useful for me and my family. Tell the team that this lab/experimental feature is a keeper!! Please bring it back!! |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | ED C NYC | 3/15/12 10:50 AM | and this was retired without warning. so nice of them. this feature will be sorely missed... |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | elds | 3/18/12 12:04 PM | indeed very disappointing, I haven't seen any interesting new feature in latitude for ages and now one of the useful one is gone! |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | SystemsGuy | 3/18/12 12:11 PM | Add another complaint. I guess Google is ready to retire latitude, since they retire the one feature I rely on. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Paulwithmaps | 3/22/12 4:56 PM | I really miss this feature of Latitude. I envision a day when our computers will take care of things behind the scenes, freeing up our attention to focus on new and interesting things. The location chat status was a small step in the right direction. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | jharrison79 | 3/23/12 3:34 AM | its only taken me 2 weeks to figure out why this wasnt working - What a shame you have retired it - It was a great feature for managing when people could and couldnt contact me, add another one to the begging list to bring it back!! |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | vijaykd | 3/30/12 6:33 PM | Hi Cindy, How do you decide one is good feature and the other is not good feature. You can always retire Google Public Location Bridge compared Google Chat Location Status. The reason for me to use Latitude is only because of this status. This is rea |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | graeme1976 | 3/31/12 11:13 AM | This sucks and the worst thing is that most users will probably not even make it to this group thread to share their displeasure. Anyone who redevelops this feature please contact me. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | rayv | 4/3/12 3:54 PM | Lame. This was the only reason for me to use GTalk. My job keeps me traveling across the country, never to the same place twice. This capability allowed my family and friends to see where I was, without having to really do anything. In the words o |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Psychephylax | 4/3/12 4:57 PM | This feature is WAY more useful than the location badge...Not only did it show you where your friends were, it also helped you share where you were. I hope that this decision is reversed.... Goolge -1 |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Rambo Junior | 4/4/12 5:30 AM | We need this service back, Please notify me if it's available one way or another. Regards, R Jr. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | my0dotorg | 4/19/12 9:41 PM | This is ridiculous. It's fair to say that you get what you pay for with Google. Does anyone know of another service, paid or free that offers similar functionality? |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | my0dotorg | 4/19/12 9:51 PM | Folks you might want to check out http://fireeagle.yahoo.net ... Yahoo's been quietly supporting it for years with lots of integration into other apps. Hopefully some of you find this useful. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | Jarrod DellaChiesa | 4/21/12 3:36 AM | Please bring this back!!!! My family and coworkers use this every day. I'd pay for this feature. |
| Re: Google Latitude and Google Talk location status | graeme1976 | 4/23/12 12:47 PM | this makes me want to retire google |
