@scottalanmiller - They definitely do that. I can think of several off the top of my head.
I can't... because I immediately forget every product that Google talks about because I know that they won't be around long enough for me to care.

This is funny... the top ten of Google products that were killed off and forgotten. But it is the top ten.. from TWELVE years ago! HAHA. A new top ten would likely not include any of these.

@scottalanmiller True, but taking advantage their size (scale) is where the value comes in. But, value is subjective. If you can run your own Zimbra, Nextcloud and rocketchat servers in-house (co-lo or on-prem) for less, then there is more value for you to do it that way.

That's what we found. Even Zoho, at half the price of GSuite, costs us quite a bit more than the open source suite. With less flexibility.

@scottalanmiller LMAO - I don't remember any of those. I was also one of the people who got a gmail invite, when that was still a thing.

I don't remember any of them either! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Agree, don't think they would ever do that.

They make lots of "decent" stuff. They just don't continue to make them.
-
@scottalanmiller - No. lol Not like those. I use hangouts, but not many people do. I never used wave. Mapquest used to be a thing, and still is. Except, not really. Google maps is the defacto map app for smart devices, especially Android.

I can tell you some,
Google +, Google Reader (RSS Reader), Picassa (photo editor), Google Talk (Hangout predecesor), google labs, Google Earth Enterprise, Google URL Shorterner (https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/url-shortener), Inbox, Google Code. All those ones I used.

I had Google plus because a frined of mine was using it. I didn't use it that much. The idiot parts/customer service manager that has since been forced out, was always trying to use different shit and start projects with stuff he didn't have the expertise or budget for. He started using Picassa to catalog images of all sorts of parts. I told him that he shouldn't use that. Sure enough, picassa died.

Didn't Picassa just use the Google Photos for the back end though? So just use a new editing app, or did I miss something? I used Picassa in the day.. but it's been so long now I've mostly forgotten how I used it.
