Can anyone explain how, once something is up and apparently solid, it requires a lot of money to maintain it? All in all, Google seems to be trying to disassociate itself from its community(ies). I would be glad to pay for some of its apps and gadgets, but not if I can't count on them being around. -tj On Thu, Mar 14, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net<mailto:o...@backspaces.net>> wrote: Good by Google Reader (which I use a lot): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5371725 .. and a host of others in this year's Spring Cleaning http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html I will give them this: they have an export stunt, and I apparently can move to others. I don't use the google front page they killed off, Yahoo instead. But seriously, does anyone have a crystal ball? I just can't figure Google out! - Are they consolidating? .. i.e. converting everything to G+? - What's next to go? .. Google Docs? It gets use by digerati, but few others. - Is GMail safe? .. It gets a lot of use, but its easy to scrape off the ads, so can't be a profit center. I'd certainly pay for many of google services .. although I doubt this would stop them from randomly killing off ones I care about. Is there some obvious trend, like I mentioned above, for example .. moving everything to G+?
