No comprometa proyectos basados en Google II

 Como hemos dicho antes, la confiabilidad en la continuidad de un proyecto o un producto de Google, tiende a cero. Tanto que existe una página "Killed by Google", con un recuento de productos e iniciativas que en su momento fueron populares y que fueron abandonadas. Decir "abandonadas" quiere decir que lo que alguien hubiera invertido se ha perdido, o a duras salvado con un costo de reingeniería.

Liz Martin en Medium (Why Google Keeps Killing Its Products):

(...) But here’s the thing: killing off projects is part of Google’s innovation process. Many of the Google products that people use today include features from things that no longer exist.

For example, Google Inbox was killed off in 2019 but many of its features migrated over to Gmail. Google Play Music was killed off in 2020, but several of its features are being used in Youtube Music. Google Allo was killed off in 2019, but its best features were ported over to Android Messages.

(...) Google exists in a fast-paced space. The faster the company can fail, the more quickly it can innovate and beat the competition to the newest technological advancement. No matter how chaotic, these calculated risks are the method to Google’s madness.

Question: What do you think Google will kill off next? What product would you like to see Google bring back to life?
