We've decided to revisit Larry Dignan's controversial post on Google projects that ought to be killed. We've learned a lot from the talkbacks - most notably what's considered awful in one country may be very popular in other parts of the world.
Changed your mind at all? Any new projects to add? Remember this is an opinion and we welcome your feedback.
Google killed off Wave despite initial buzz that the experiment was going to change communication. The problem: Wave just didn’t garner much of a following.
Props to Google for ditching efforts that fall flat. But since we’re housecleaning at Google, here are a few more projects that should be put out of their misery.
Buzz: Annoying and just not quite right. Like Wave, it had some early juice and then just sort of fell flat.
