Google+ (Failed platform no use cited a software error as partial reasoning) designed as a invite-only 6-month R&D test to improve Gmail Rolled into Gmail all your email is still there) | Mmkay | Questionable | No Use | Obsolete | BAD ITEM | R&Dįabric (Always Beta R&D Rolled into "Firebase") The way I see it, The BLUE and BLACK items are the only ones you could have a problem with:Ģ019 - COLOR KEY: No prob. I'll be interested to see what other services others find "too unreliable". Here's a list of killed apps/services for the last 5 years that get's the author and the OP in a tiffy. Speculation of Google killing Inbox came as early as 2017 and Google announced they would be killing Inbox due to lack of users in September of 2018 - plenty of warning: The author of the column keeps saying and inferring that "Google kills loved platforms and projects before their time and without warning" says this for Inbox. All of the useful features of Inbox have been in Gmail since 2017. I don't want Inbox holding it back for 12 days only to notify me that a bill is coming due in 3 days. When my bill comes in I want to see it and plan for it and pay it. What's up with the Social Media look where I can only see 1 or 2 "emails" at a time? Then it always wanted to show me "old things" "on time" - like bills. Most of the time the emails I wanted to see were buried under a bunch of emails I didn't want to see. further adding to the cost of "game streaming".Īs for Inbox. nor wants to pay the high rates for that service. Maybe that? How about the fact that not everyone has Gigabit fiber service to their house. Maybe people don't like the idea of paying 2x or 3x the cost of a Console(or more) with permanent games to only lease a Stadia license. Maybe a better question would be, if the author was a real reporter, "Why would 'Gamers', the target audience, want Stadia?". There doesn't look like there is a problem. Or appears to be a solution in search of a problem (Allo?). Maybe the lesson is not to switch to anything "Google" that competes with an already hugely successful product like Facebook for example. Not really any surprises here, nor deprecated products to lament over other than by comparatively very small segments of their ginormous user base. And dogs kept on life support far longer than they should be. And short term successes that become not worth supporting. In the scheme of a mega-company, of which that description doesn't even come close to what Google is, they're going to have many trials and errors. Products that were doomed to failure from the start and anyone on Technibble probably could have predicted it if only Google had asked us. Pie in the sky or cutting edge stuff that probably only existed to see what might stick.ģ. Internal competitors to Google's already successful products (lnbox vs Gmail for example).Ģ. But shut down Search, Gmail, Calendar, Android, or Voice - and I will FREAK out.Īs I look through the unsurprising product obituaries, I see three main categories.ġ.

Probably because nothing of Google's that I actually use on a daily basis has ever been shut down. And not because any of us necessarily think so, it is our customers that have been brought/programmed to have such high customer service expectations. It may be acceptable for more underdeveloped nations in other parts of the world, but for the United States/Canada, sorry, not a chance. Plus, their entire support experience out of India is simply unacceptable by modern customer service standards. Personally, I am annoyed and frustrated with their software bugs and ridiculous approach in policing businesses, more importantly, legit businesses.

They have humangous amounts of capital available to advertise any new products /services and convince people to try anything new, especially when it is free or near free. Based on poor usage, the products are not good, or are no longer as good, in meeting their needs.Īs far as their brand, I doubt Google is too worried. We practice this approach in our businesses everyday, no? We cut out any unproductive service/product whenever possible in our businesses when the majority of customers have little to no interest in them, no? The market (the customers) decide whether the products are useful and good. While understandably frustrating for developers and all other involved parties in building and investing in Google based products, from a business perspective, Google does not care to keep maintaining unpopular or poorly used technologies. It does not appear to be that embarrassing, if at all. ".but to have one of your new executives face questions of "When will your new product shut down?" must be embarrassing for Google."
