A lot of these were just rebranded hangouts on air became youtube live, Nexus essentially became Pixel, Picasa became google photos, Chrome apps were nothing more than the website, MyTracks as they pointed out is Google Fit
- niftich 10y agoThis is an inaccurate oversimplification. Youtube Live was a distinct product from Hangouts on Air [1]. Nexus -> Pixel can indeed be described as a re-brand or a rename. Picasa and Google Photos have been separate for years [2][3]. Chrome Apps were exposed certain platform features that there's still no web-based alternative for [4].

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoI disagree that Nexus -> Pixel is a rebrand or rename. It's an entirely different type of device. Nexus was a low-cost developer-focused device. Pixel is a high-cost consumer-focused device. And the big thing with Picasa is the desktop app, which many users are upset to be losing.
- kapsi 10y agoYes, I know no other program that does simple photo retouching and organizing as well as Picasa.
