This little tidbit adds some color to my earlier comments on Google products that make money and how many of their products are “also-ran’s.” This comes from Search Engine Land:
Google’s announced they’re closing or ceasing development of a variety of products as part of an already continuing move to keep efforts focused on other products with greater usage. These include an end to video uploads to Google Video, closure of Google Catalog Search, Google Notebook, Dodgeball, the microblogging service Jaiku and the Google Mashup Editor.
Ouch! At least they know when it’s time to pull the plug.
