Google has announced yet another wave of Google product and services closures. The products hit this time include:
- Aardvark
- Fast Flip
- Sidewiki
- Google Desktop
- Google Image Labeler
- Google Maps API for Flash
- Google Notebook
- Google Pack
- Google Subscribed Links
- Google Web Security
We’ve never been afraid to try big, bold things, and that won’t change. We’ll continue to take risks on interesting new technologies with a lot of potential. But by targeting our resources more effectively, we can focus on building world-changing products with a truly beautiful user experience.
It is sad to see some of these go but Google often tries wild things and closes down products, especially recently.
