    Given the recent closing of Google Wave and Eric Schmidt's celebration of their failures, we thought it would be fun to pull together some of Google's other product failures.

    Good post man. I'm sure there had to be many many more projects they worked on that went down the tubes.

    I am sorry but I do not get to see the image. Is the image removed or is it just me who sees the space... vacant? :confused:

    Yup the info is correct. But they are still the best IMHO.

    If they start 100 projects, at least 5 are expected to get less success. You can't have a 100% success ratio no matter what you do.

    A great company is not afraid to try new things knowing that some may fail, that's the exact reason Google is an industry leader today. They learn something from every failure, and for those projects that don't fail it makes them even more powerful.

    I used to use Google lively, I'd just walk around slapping people. I think that's why it failed
