Well I guess the “don’t worry about revenues, we’ll just try to sell it to Google” business model won’t work any more …

I understand Jaiku and Dodgeball, but Notebook was such a great tool. What a shame.

I still use Google Video to find videos among all the different sites they index. Given that search is Google’s core competency, I’m surprised they’re getting rid of it.

[...] Jason Kincaid Reports about more services that are at danger [...]

You’ve got to focus on your moneymakers in a bad economy. No one has the luxury of carrying excess baggage. All companies should look at this and determine how they can make their product lines and services more efficient. Cut the fat, and buckle down.

Among all of the bad economic news the past few months, IMO this is the worst. I did not expect layoffs at Google.

There comes a time when everyone has to focus on their core business. Google’s has always been search and advertising. I sure hope their advertising model never threatens their apps offerings, I’ve grown to depend on it.

I love Google Notebook and used it a lot. NOW, I will have to find something else to take its place. So sad to see it go…

There still allowing search but done with uploads. Though i will not be surprised if Youtube will turn into the de facto search engine for all videos eventually.

Google Video shutdown? I would assume they would shutdown the others but not the video part. Oh well, bye bye new documentaries.

Identi.ca gets $100K+ yesterday. http://is.gd/fW6Q . Google open sources Jaiku today . Talk about blessed timing for Evan Prodromou! I bet that VC would like their money back today!

i guess with jaiku finished they have room for twitter

This has been a long time coming for Google. I’m sure the economic situation just pushed it a little earlier then expected but most of these services were nearing the end of their timeline anyway. Hopefully Google will start focusing on their core products and stop dabbling in so many other unsuccessful projects.

Google, where is GrandCentral?! {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/ZnioAmzqCI_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”Google, where is GrandCentral?! ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/7HMN6YeM6O”}}}

Knol hasn’t caught on, but it’s not a loss leader like the services they are shutting down. They actually make money directly from Knol, so I doubt they would get rid of it (especially since it’s just an algo change away from hitting it big ie. they could really push it in the SERPS if they felt like it.) They have that in their back pocket.

Has Google lost her mind?

I had thought that Google will indentify contents saved in the Notebook are important for page ranking of the source, and this is good for collective intelligence.

While Notebook did help users to preserve Web pages that might be gone overtime and Google provided such excellent service for free, I thought that Google could find better collective intelligence in return.

I don’t think Docs, Tasks, SearchWiki could replace Notebook, when I need multiple notebooks and multiple sections with such excellent UI.

Please, Google, don’t give up Notebook.

oh, how sad….the company with the ever-present halo falls victim to the same as everybody else–about f’ing time!

Killing off all these projects was a good move! They should also kill Knol… it’s as useless as the ones they killed.

I was just thinking about GrandCentral yesterday. It was in the context of, “Hey, what’s the deal with GrandCentral? I haven’t heard a word about it in almost a year.”

I’m pretty sure it’s in the de-facto deadpool. The development blog hasn’t been updated since April. They haven’t taken in any new users. It certainly doesn’t look good.

The strange thing is that, of all the services which Google provides, I think that GrandCentral has (had?) the highest potential to be profitable. At $5 or $10/month, anyone who carries a second phone for work, or anyone who still has a land-line would likely be interested.

I know that Google tends to offer everything for free, but GrandCentral seemed taylor-made for the type of user who wouldn’t mind paying for a business-class service.

Google’s Dead Ducks…

Recently Google Korea firstly acquired TNC, the famous blog service developing company that has made Textcube (a.k.a Tattertools) similar with WordPress case. It became buzz in a flash by many famous blogs such as Techcrunch, GigaOM, NY Times, Venture…

oh, My notebook

Google ought to continue to offer all products they intend to shut down—but make people pay for them if they really want it. If there is demand, then the product will succeed and maybe become “free” again.

ultimately, this might be very lucrative for GOOG as it builds more revenue into the system and develops a subscription based user model.

You may want to look into Evernote. I didn’t use Google Notebook much, but Evernote is getting better with each release.

Agreed!

[...] Techcrunch: ” Google axes…” [...]

I’m really gonna miss Notebook :-(
Please don’t shut it down!

Phew!
I just setup and began using a plethora of Google services a few days ago (personal and Apps). The only thing I use from the list above is Notebook, and I never use the browser extension. Lucky me.

Hopefully this will be the one and only wave of shutdowns…

Does this prove the fact that “Google is a one trick Pony!”. Everything else that they have tried to work on has failed apart. Is Gmail making any money? Is it time to move back to Yahoo!

Good move, tho I’d keep notebook.

Most likely Youtube will replace Google Video.

[...] TechCrunch’s Jason Kincaid throws out Knol and Grand Central as two other Google services that could get the axe this year. Knol certainly hasn’t caught on as the “accountable Wikipedia,” that Google was hoping for. While Grand Central, which attempts to centralize your phone on the web, is another aquistion that Google apparently doesn’t mind neglecting.

I’m really glad that Jaiku will be Open Source software soon! I’m looking forward to working with Jaiku devs to make Identica’s software compatible with Jaiku.

Jaiku’s going to run only on Google App Engine. I think there are a lot of people and organizations that will take advantage of that. But there will be a lot of others who’ll want Open Source microblogging on hosting options, and I think they’ll be looking at Identica’s software for that.

I think that the release of Jaiku as Open Source is going to be a big win for open standards on the microblogging front.

Which one of these services would you actually pay for?

I just use Zoho if I want to make little notations.

So the only content sites you like are the ones that will die because they aren’t aggressive enough with their monetization. Techcrunch has adsense. Do you dislike it “more and more” too?

Since 2007 i had the feeling that Google was venturing into others money generating business and making things free based on Ads. I mean Gphone & Google Maps doesn’t have any revenue hints at the moment.
It’s often that we find them destroying other’s business revenues instead on making their own services better.

I hear the guys at Snipd.com are rolling out v2 of their product (some kind of group/private sharing tool), it may stand a chance to take Notebook down, although their v1 didn’t stick.

Man, I really like Google Video. It lets you export (most) videos to an iPod format (m4v ?). Sad day…

I don’t get it, the browser-internal clip button feature was better than any bookmarklet out there, and would seem like a logical extension for many of the Google products that remain, including GDocs, Gmail, Blogger (to do stuff similar to Tumblr, only that it would be better/faster than Tumblr), asf.

Public Notebooks were a step in the Tumblr/Posterous direction anyway, all it needed was some interface polish. Given what Evernote is doing with text in image recognition, and what Google appeares to be doing with creating the voice recognition database from GOOG-411, Notebook would seem a natural thing for Google to keep pursuing and expanding (to image and audio).

I think that all it would have taken was tighter integration with the more successful/known products (Gmail, etc.), and in general a little more MARKETING for a product that was largely in Beta and that most people have never even heard of at this point.

Also: Now that they are dumping Jaiku, can they please get on with it already and buy Twitter? Then put it on an industrial strength footing so that further development can actually take place?

Given that Twitter has rapidly become the “Swiss Army Knife of the Internet”, one would think that Google would want to be involved…

[...] With the recession affecting everyone (big and small), it probably came to no surprise that Google was shutting down (or stunting) a few services ranging from Google Notebook, to Jaiku to even Google Video (as mentioned by TechCrunch). [...]

I doubt Twitter founders (Ev and Biz) would be willing to sell it to Google, as half of the engineers have walked away from Google at one point or another (as they were former employees).

I called GrandCentral’s “public” number (no response thus far) but hopefully Google will give them a second look as they do have a lot of potential.

If Google cuts GrandCentral though, I do wonder if we can purchase our numbers from them. Hmm….

Signups are still on this week – I just signed up for Google Notebook, it’s painless. I have GMail, and just didn’t know about Notebook. Looks nifty, and should really be part of the Apps package.

The signup is at http://notebook.google.com/
If you’re logged on GMail, they welcome you by name and say they want to “know more”, but it just leads to the Firefox plug-in download/install. That’s it.

For Chrome, etc., there’s a javascript bookmarklet at http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/bookmarklet.html

Maybe an upsurge in sign-ups this final week will make Google reconsider axing Notebooks …
