- hughrr 5y agoWell fuck that’s a huge pile of corpses.
- mattkevan 5y agoReading through that site it’s amazing the amount of weird random stuff Google does. There’s the ‘throw stuff at the wall’ product strategy, and then there’s the ‘no strategy at all’ strategy. I mean ‘Google Bookmarks - a web-based bookmarking service not integrated with any other Google services’. I know this one’s an outlier as it’s old for a Google product, but if it’s not integrated then why bother? Part of me thinks it’s because they’ve got a lot of people and an near infinite amount of money and there’s only so many people you can throw at sticking ads everywhere, so everyone else has got to do something. Might as well write another messaging app.
- jfoster 5y agoThis list is so long that they should consider summarising it at the top; a graph tracking new production introductions vs retirements, so that we can see whether Google is getting any better at creating lasting products.
