The actual number of genuinely useful services that Google has shuttered is relatively small. "Genuinely useful" is a subjective term... Reader and the nontrivial list of other things Google has bought or started and then left to die on the vine definitely gives me pause before signing up for one of their services. Example: They started doing domain registration about a year or two ago? I'm not going to use it because it's not a core part of their business and I don't want to be in the position of doing a forced migration with associated costs when they inevitably decide to scuttle it with no concern for the users.
