Google decides to stop 6 of their numerous Services
Okay now can someone tell me whats up with Google ?? Every now and then it comes up with surprises sometimes pleasant and sometimes not quite . The greatest Internet Company of all time has decided to close down some of its services which have failed to get people’s attention , or hasn’t quite been a part of Google’s core buisness. Looks like the recession days has also affected the Big G. They have cut services , left people unemployed , also lowered down Adsense Revenues. But anyways here are the murdered applications and services.
~ Google Notebook : One of the most used Google’s applications , the G Notebook was used to create , maintain and share notes and clips. New registrations have been ceased but it shall continue to be available for the existing users.
~ Google Video : After acquiring Youtube , Google Video was always worthless to be continued . The popularity of Youtube is such that if you upload even a single video it shall get more than 10,000 views in a month. And yea people lost quite a bit of interest from the G video.
~ Google Catalog Search : For people who don’t know , Google Catalog search was used to search standard US mail Order which had prices printed in them. But it has now been redirected to Google Search itself.
~ Dodgeball : I don’t know why but this social network which connected millions of users through text messages was included into the black list.
~ Jaiku : A micro blogging service similar to Twitter , Google decided to bring it down and launch it as an open source community.
~ Google Mashup Editor : The online Mashup creater provided by Google hereby concludes the list of the services decided to be called off.
I hope next Google doesn’t come up with Blogger.com called off
