Google Tasks is now part of Google Calendar on AndroidIt follows the web apps merging last yearGoogle Tasks may eventually be retired as a standalone app Google has certainly never been afraid of killing off apps and products it’s not that interested in any more (see Killed by Google for details), and it appears that Google Tasks could be the next app on the chopping block. The Google Tasks app is now available inside Google Calendar for Android, Google has announced (via 9to5Google). Google is positioning this as a benefit – but are we wrong to be a little worried about the future of the standalone Google Tasks app? Perhaps not, given Google’s history with merging and dropping products, and the way that Google Tasks has been slowly finding its way into other apps – not just Google Calendar, but also Gmail and the Google Assistant. The Android update follows the addition of Google Tasks to Google […]

In the wake of the US election, millions of users have been joining Bluesky every day. A decentralized rival to X (formerly Twitter), the platform now has more than 20 million users. According to data from Similarweb, daily usage grew by more than 500% after the election. In a recent interview with NPR, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber said the network had been “growing by about a million users a day”. That surge can be attributed in large part to the dissatisfaction of countless X (formerly Twitter) users. It’s been two years since Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and rebranded it as X. A number of controversial policy changes in that time – including the decision to allow companies to train their AI models on users’ posts – have triggered a mass exodus to pastures new. While it still has a way to go to compete with the 275 million active monthly users on Threads, Bluesky […]
