Interesting #anecdata points.
Caught up with an old friend. His teenage sons are both big kik users on their iPod touches. They don't want an iPhone since they're not allowed in school but the iPod is.
The son of my wife's stylist asked me if we could add file transfer to Hangouts or messenger. I'm somewhat dubious on this (seems like a good way to spread virii -- however adding Drive sharing to chat might be interesting (and safer..) and is orthogonal with Photo sharing in Messenger.
Send file == upload to drive, share file from drive to friend, share link over chat channel, render drive content using embed.
