The first step was disentangling it from G+.

I hope the next step is a sane API to let third-party clients integrate with it. It does not have to be XMPP, as long as it's something clear and well-supported.

They treat Hangouts like Yahoo would. Great product that they completely hosed by not caring about the userbase.

I wouldn't thrust Google for a second. They are not afraid to close down services with a short notice - so unless I can run my own "Hangouts" backbone it means nothing to me.
