Man. I came here to post the same thing.
Google has been screwing up EVERYTHING lately. Every recent Google product launch that I can think of has been botched. They're REALLY checked out over there.
Serious question. What's the last major successful Google project that was built within Google and not acquired?
I can't think of one.

- mtgx 8y agoIronically, I think Photos was a product of Vic Gundotra, which Google higher-ups gave the boot because he failed in social (as if anyone else would have succeeded in beating Facebook - he gave it a good shot anyway). Google wasn't even savvy enough about social to know to buy Instagram.
- leoc 8y agoOthers might at least have failed in a way that was less damaging to Google's reputation.
- joshuamorton 8y agoHow do you define "major"? How do you define "product"? If my "major" you mean "more than 100MM users", it's been a while, but then what was the last (new) product launch by any established company that has 100MM users? If you drop that to a smaller number, there are tons though. If by product you mean "consumer product", again, perhaps a while, but I'd argue that there are tons in the business space. (ML, cloud, etc.)
