TIL Google chat hasn't been killed yet
They have irc services internally (or at least did when I was there 10-ish years ago).
Google Chat wasn't down for me throughout the entire incident.
it at least used to be standard and fairly well known practice for non-sres to use the irc bridge.
the much more disastrous situation would have been the irm fallback.
Someone actually uses Google Chat...?
Google has a chat product?
it's the best
Well given how many they have decommissioned...
Oh no, that's how you know it's nearing the point of being reaped and thrown in the graveyard!
