One thing I haven't seen mentioned is how odd it is that google is killing a product likely used widely within Google.
- ktsmith 14y agoI don't think it's odd. I think the speculation that some reader features are being rolled into plus is accurate and google wants their internal people dog fooding those implementations.
- thomaslangston 14y agoIf they were rolling it into G+, they would have announced that first. It simply doesn't make sense to lose your users and then try to regain them, instead of providing a migration strategy.
- ktsmith 14y agoThat might make sense if they are a one to one equivalent. I think it is unlikely to be the case however. Losing a few million users of a niche product doesn't matter to Google if it wasn't a large revenue stream. Rolling out features that fit the Google+ scheme as they are ready makes more sense to me.
- wmf 14y agoI guess it's a sign of maturity when Google realizes that their own employees are not representative of the general Internet market that Google is targeting.
- camus 14y agoso maybe they should kill ChromeBooks and G+ already , nobody cares about that damn stuff.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoLying in a coffing in a fancy suit is a sign of maturity too. Why is that kind of maturity good these days? For whom?
- munificent 14y agoBuzz was widely used internally when it was killed. I think it may have been more successful inside than out.
