I agree, Owen.  I don't understand this strategy either.  Can anyone explain how, once something is up and apparently solid, it requires a lot of money to maintain it?

All in all, Google seems to be trying to disassociate itself from its community(ies).  I would be glad to pay for some of its apps and gadgets, but not if I can't count on them being around.

Good by Google Reader (which I use a lot):
.. and a host of others in this year's Spring Cleaning

I will give them this: they have an export stunt, and I apparently can move to others.  I don't use the google front page they killed off, Yahoo instead.

But seriously, does anyone have a crystal ball?  I just can't figure Google out!

- Are they consolidating?  .. i.e. converting everything to G+?
- What's next to go? .. Google Docs?  It gets use by digerati, but few others.
- Is GMail safe? .. It gets a lot of use, but its easy to scrape off the ads, so can't be a profit center.

I'd certainly pay for many of google services .. although I doubt this would stop them from randomly killing off ones I care about.

Is there some obvious trend, like I mentioned above, for example .. moving everything to G+?

Damn!
