It's not even a question of "wrong"--it's a question of whether it's worth my time. If past performance is an indicator, the answer is, "probably not worth my time."
Google Notebook did this--better--years ago. Hierarchical notebooks, tags, web clipper extensions and bookmarklets, sharing, blah blah blah.
Google killed it. Dumped all the data into monolithic Docs documents. If I wanted to use giant Word docs, I would have.
Now, this. Why? What about Keep? Save != Keep?
Google used to call everything "beta." It's too bad they stopped doing that. Now they should call everything "alpha." It would be more honest.
And that brings us back to the question of "wrong." Is it wrong to throw up a free, open service and invite people to rely on it, then yank the rug out from under them? "But it's not making them any money." But they're making billions upon billions of dollars. "But someone has to maintain it." But they have thousands of engineers.
Anyway, you can decide the ethics however you want. The bottom line is, it would be foolish to spend any time on any new Google service. I've already spent too much writing about it here.
