I’m still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.
The Google Graveyard grows ever larger. Nearly at 300 now.
To be slightly fair a decent number of those are redundant or were successfully merged into other projects while others were clearly very experimental in nature.
This product was also sold, not deleted. So to be a bit pedantic, it doesn’t belong there. People are acting like this has died entirely or they aren’t able to transfer their domains. It’s not the end of the world.
But I guess people can feel good posting “Don’t be evil I guess” over and over again (as has been posted in all the threads about this numerous times) or being all snooty about how they’ve “warned people forever” not to use any Google service ever.
This was a trip back in time, seeing things like Meebo and Picasa that G purchased and killed off. 😕
That’s just the nature of corporate pirates, they loot and plunder what they can use and integrate into their own products then scuttle the rest
Most often not even taking the things that made the plundered product great in the first place, unfortunately.
