just out of curiosity, when was the last time google shut down a product that you were actively using?
For me it was Reader, and that was the only time. and yeah, i'm still a little salty about it. But every company shuts things down - google can't keep all their dead and unused failures running forever, and Google+ was obviously deserving of a shutdown.
"i don't trust google because they shut down things nobody uses" isn't really a rational complaint.
- stevekemp 8y agoReader, Orkut (yeah!), and Wave were the three I can remember off-hand. I suspect there were more. I know that I had to cope with some changes to their map-pricing recently too - so I moved to an alternative (easy to manage since I was using leaflet.js as a wrapper). Rightly or wrongly though I now have the impression that their APIs/Services are not likely to remain.
