I think its wise to slim your business a bit in times like this. Even if you still make good money its better to focus your efforts on where the money is. Maybe this can save some employees jobs and they can continue to keep their other products working great.
This is really bad. i hope they will not close google maps, since these is one of the services that I use the most.
Oh yeah, big crisis. Google Video was a huge moneymaker for them . Definitely was a lot better than YouTube. -_-
I did not know that google even had a "notebook" until I saw this thread. So maybe google is closing the services that people do not use very much. When website developers add a new feature, most of the time it "sounds" like a good idea. But not very people use the new feature. So its finally removed due to lack of use. Google removing those services is no big deal.
