Google has tried a lot of ideas and then abandoned them, but has it fumbled any already successful product?

Perhaps one of their more successful chat clients, but that's all I can think of

Success for google is defined in a different way than it would be for an ordinary company and many of those would have been successful if they had started outside of google.

The really annoying ones are the ones they buy, and then shutter because they can't make enough money on them fast enough.

  • RIP Google Nest CO2 and Smoke Detectors T.T

    I thought the nightlight that goes on when you walked under it was really neat...

    • The real problem is that they put a lot of parties making similar devices out of business because they could not compete with google on volume, pricing (subsidized, of course) and marketing.
