> I would not be surprised to see Google Groups get munched once they finish adding a few more features into the communities bag. I would say that this is probably firmly in motion. I doubt that many users enjoy using the Groups interface. For instance, I can't remember if there was ever a time that the groups webpage correctly rendered on any of my Android devices' browsers (it always thinks I'm using an old version of Safari?!?), or was actually useful outside of a desktop (where it is merely annoying, but usable). I think this is a good indicator that they are divesting from any work there probably in preparation of dropping it. > I backup everything locally that I think might be valuable to me in the future...just in case. One thing I absolutely trust Google to do is provide a mechanism to get my data out of one of their services, particularly if the service is going to be discontinued.
