Google+ got way, way more investment than ChromeOS and was considered a top priority at the C-level. Still killed.
- gowld 7y agoThe context of this thread is Enterprise, where G+ was not killed.
- signal11 7y agoIn the enterprise context, I guess the Google Search Appliance would be a good example. Before you say "it wasn't widely used" -- that's probably why it was killed. Google customers who use a product that doesn't lead its market and/or make megabucks should be worried. We know there are other products that are failing to gain traction in the marketplace -- like GCP. While I'm not saying GCP will meet Search Appliance's fate, it has already been reported[1] that there will be financial consequences if GCP is unable to get a #2 position in the cloud marketplace by 2023.
