Can you give me an update on Wave and Orkut? I never use this Reader thing, but I hear others do.

  I'm happy to respond to every single person that makes this argument in perpetuity :) There's a difference between experimental free services and Enterprise-grade SLA'd SLO'd fully-supported paid services with a very clear and recorded deprecation policy and an army of customers with contracts and full support from Google CEO and chairman.

    Indeed, but who is paying to maintain 546GB of online storage ( plus backups ) for Reddit comments in BigQuery, for example? If the answer is "Google" then I think people are still right to be cautious. Or to invert the question; could I put 1TB of my own 'interesting' data into BigQuery and have Google maintain it in perpetuity for free? If not, then why are any of these datasets considered safer?

      This is a paid service.

      If you think Google even cares about 546GB of online storage you've gotta be kidding. This is like asking if Google is going to eliminate the free water in the water cooler because it costs a few cents per employee. You can put 1TB of your own interesting data in BigQuery and pay $0.02/GB/month for the data storage fees. I'm sure Google will happily take your money as a paying customer, and keep your data for as long as you want to store it and pay for it.
