That's ironic, because Google Chat to this day has migrated chats over from Hangouts and effectively served messaging for over a decade. But even Hangouts migrated chats over from Google Talk, which I personally used at least as far back as 2010.
To put that into perspective, Apple's iMessage has only been around since 2011.
You have no idea how many messages I had in Wave. Do you realize how many Google messaging services have come and gone with zero portability?
