Agreed. It seems they'll hype up and push a service then shut it down at the drop of a pin at this point. It's not great for their brand if you're a company that wants a reliable, long term solution.
- simooooo 10y agoI agree but how is it any worse than a start-up trying the idea and then dying in a similar fashion?
- travem 10y agoIt's worse for google because their brand is attached to it. Shutting down a branded internal "startup" can cause negative sentiment to be attached to the overall brand (as evidenced in comments here). Whereas with a startup there isn't really a lingering negative impact on a parent brand because there is no parent brand.
- simooooo 10y agoyeah worse for the brand of Google but not for us as we are just as likely to have it fail as if it were a startup.
- jfoster 10y agoStartups that die do affect the overall perception of startups, but at the point of going out of business, the business no longer cares about its brand perception.
