That's what everyone thought about G. news feed. They drove competitors out 
of business with their superior offerings. Then they dropped it. News feed 
services are very light compared to forums.

G. spent millions on Sketchup. Had a Sketchup "Evangelist". Books were 
written. Lot's of excitement. Sold it overnight to a company that makes 
fishing equipment.

There's something like 40 or more projects in the Guugle graveyard. Except 
for search, I don't think the G is really committed to anything.
