Because users are often just as if not more valuable than the money a company makes. Google probably bought Meebo because they thought the product was a good fit for their new social direction and because it already has a user base.
As far as the services they're shutting down, most of them are in conflict with things Google+ does.
- ricardobeat 14y agoIf they are shutting down every user-facing service, how is the userbase relevant? From the news they're only interested in the Meebo Bar installed base, which are not end-users.
- Luyt 14y agoThe users are switched to Google services. They'll probably be privately emailed about it.
