A comparison shows most products that should be dead are on that list.
G, on the other hand, has products actively used and loved by users.

- jsnell 3y agoHow many of the products on the Killed by Google list do you think is "products actively used and loved by users"? Like half a dozen on that whole list? How many had you even heard about? This Domains shutdown definitely qualifies for the short list though, and is the most mystifying shutdown of theirs in like a decade. It was a paid service with clear strategic importance and clearly a ton of happy customers.
- Nebasuke 3y agoThings I am or was actively using (and mostly liked): Inbox, Domains, Reader, Wave, GChat, (Hangouts, but it doesn't fully count), AdSense mobile app, Google+, goog.gl, Play Music (YouTube Music sucks), Buzz, Labs (particularly in Gmail), Google WiFi app (the home app is worse), Picasa, and I can probably find more. I have stopped using any new Google product, and am slowly phasing out my reliance on their other products.
- WorldMaker 3y agoAlso, a quick skim of that page lists products from at least the 1990s before Google even existed which seems unfair if you are trying to objectively match up counts. Microsoft does have a few more decades on Google.
