  frequency would be number of projects (with a certain amount of uptake) started divided by number abandoned. That list isn't so simple. Accelerator isn't software/service, refine became open-refine, and wasn't a service. Wave didn't seem to get a great deal of uptake (I think), and is somewhat superseded by google+ in-chat. I'm not sure how checkout differs from wallet. etc. So in those case, there is a marked difference as compared to, for example, when google discontinued reader. I also wonder how many of these projects are abandoned in name, but not in copebase? Google+ probably rebrands some of those, with a slightly different mission statement (new feature, rather than standalone product). That said, I do dislike some of the focus on social-media. The facebook effect, I guess... We probably need more protection from it...
