As a product manager, I'm not sure how I feel about doing SO much testing by throwing code out at people and seeing what sticks to the wall. If feels like a hammer problem ("All I've got at Google are a bunch of engineers, so if I need to see what the market wants, I'll throw engineers at it.").
However (also from the product management perspective), it is always impressive to see a company that effectively kills products. So many companies hold onto lagging products because they are afraid of the negative impacts of killing a product without ever doing the analysis of the negative impacts of keeping the product.
- vgurgov 16y agoi was thinking about the same thing. killing project is extremely tough, although many underestimate this. So I am very impressed on how effectively google does this. another thing here is money. google is a public company that has to make money. most of these companies they kinda lost (4sqr, twtr, you name it) yet have to prove they really have business model, by making say 1% of what google makes. and its never late for buyback as google is one of most active buyers in SV MA market
