We make products and services that last forever. Until we kill them.

After four months in operation, “the Google Photos subscription service that allows users to print their photos for free will be discontinued, the Mountain View company confirmed earlier today.” It’s become a running joke that if you invest your time and/or content on a Google product, it’s only a matter of time before it will be discontinued—often in the most painful and unsatisfying way possible. I therefore thought it only fitting to provide a placeholder for the next discontinued product or service announcement.

I used Google Fusion Tables to host some GPS Track data for my NZ based motorcycle website, Fusion Tables was killed off in December 2019 and I haven't yet found a service that offers the same loading speed as Fusion Tables did.

Google Fusion Tables - WikipediaGoogle Fusion Tables was a web service provided by Google for data management. Fusion tables can be used for gathering, visualising and sharing data tables. Data are stored in multiple tables that Internet users can view and download. The web service provided means for visualizing data with pie charts, bar charts, lineplots, scatterplots, timelines, network graphs, HTML-formatted card-layouts, and geographical maps.en.wikipedia.org

It starts long ago @StephenL

with Google Reader after the shutdown of Google+ I was done with Google

You can"t trust a brand which starts something new and you

use the products and then they stop it

I think the next shutdown is Blogger not so much activity on

Blogger own Blog and the Twitter account

Google use a different Blog system for there own Blogs : Blog Google and not Blogger

Google use a different Blog system for there own Blogs : Blog Google and not Blogger

I take it you've then read the reason why they're using a unique 'system' for their own uses?

About the KeywordWelcome to the Keyword - our new, central destination for the latest news updates and stories from inside Google. Google first began blogging back in 2004 - when mobile phones looked like this and before anyone had dreamed up Chrome, Android, or YouTube.blog.google

"The Keyword consolidates and replaces 19 of our existing official blogs, in English. Over time we plan to expand to include other languages, countries and more."

Having stated that, I don't necessarily dispute your thoughts that at some point, Blogger may also become another Google Graveyard interment. My suspicion is that there's probably a LOT more that use Blogger then say, Google +.

Should I just save this spot for Stadia?

They're going to have to do something big and soon. It's 9.99/month for Stadia pro which gets you 1 free game per month. Or you can have a free tier but you're paying full retail for a limited number of games and wouldn't be sure how long the service will last.

In September Microsoft's XCloud is launching and for 15/month as part of XBox Game Pass Ultimate you'll get a bunch of AAA and indie games including at that price, I'm not sure how it'll work but that service also includes 4 free games per month. And this is on top of100+ XBox and PC games that you'd have access too.

I'm all about being proven wrong about this and if Google can come up with a way to increase competition in a consumer friendly way that would be awesome.

Google Cloud Print is dead as of December 31, 2020 - 9to5GoogleGoogle has announced that Cloud Print, its cloud-based printing solution, is being retired at the end of next year. It's an early heads up, yes, but it's a necessary one - Cloud Print is pretty widely used. Google recommends that users of Cloud Print "identify an alternative solution."9to5google.com

Another one bites the dust.
