Washington Post: Google's trust problem

[ugahairydawgs]

Talks about Google's nature of canceling products that has crossed a threshold of usefulness for them regardless of whether or not they are being utilized by users and how that correlates going forward for new products they introduce.

Thoughts?

Yeah it bugs me. Google health was cool. I didn't use it though, kinda too much for me to post all my medical and confidential stuff on it. But many people did. Google Notebook, I liked that one a lot. Sucked when they got rid of it. Google Wave? Wow, that was a mess, but I guess it spawned Google+. But what happens when they pull the plug on that. Which in due time they will. Google Reader - loved it. It's now soon to be gone.

So yeah, it kinda does suck. Google pushes more people to go web-based, less desktop apps and they pull the plug without regard to what users think.
