The only successful products I can think of from Google that were entirely of their own making are Google Search, GMail, and Chrome. Their other successes all came from acquisitions, like YouTube, Maps (KeyHole), Docs (Writely), Android, etc. They deserve some credit for their cultivation and maintenance of these products, but they did not create them.
