there's an actual hangouts desktop app now?

@dansinker @broox It's a Chrome extension that puts an icon in your menubar.

sorta. I use the chrome plugin.

@andrewwatson @broox *that's just a crappy plug-in by another name*

@dansinker @broox it also ignores the face that you're screen sharing or doing a presentation and insists on popping up on new msgs.

@dansinker @andrewwatson totally. Except that hangouts has actually had a few updates in the past couple years.

@broox @andrewwatson I want an actual desktop app so I can say fuck off to Skype forever.

@dansinker @andrewwatson preach.

@broox @dansinker well, it's based on open protocols so you should be able to roll your own... wait. nevermind.
