Google shuts down a project. I don't think this really stops the press anymore. I'm not familiar with this one, but building your infrastructure on small Google APIs is starting to seem foolish.
- Frieshammer 9y agoOne day Google will shutdown Gmail. Finally then everyone will learn to ignore their non-Advertising services. It's for the best!
- ajeet_dhaliwal 9y agoThis has crossed my mind. I’m a G Suite customer (paid Google docs / gmail etc) and Google makes me nervous the way they shut things down constantly.
- ernsheong 9y agoIt’s paid. I’ve never heard of Google shutting down paid services.
- dazc 9y agoGSuite is a perfect subscription business model; they are giving you stuff you will probably never need or use along side something you were already using for free. The cost of a single account is just about small enough to be negligible for a business customer. This is enough to give me confidence that it isn't going to be shut down.
- junkcollector 9y agoWave would have made a nice additional to that suite. I miss Google Wave. I've built 3 projects that relied on Google services/APIs; none of them exist anymore. I will never build another Google based product as long as I live.

Maybe you should be familiar, this isn't a Google API, it came through an acquisition and would have been shut down a long time ago if the government didn't mandate them to keep it available. Anyone who knew anything about this API already knew that this was just a matter of time.
- ulfw 9y agoFrankly you'd be an idiot to build a business on top of Google services anymore. Just can't rely on anything being around for however long.
