Can't wait for #GoogleGemini to find its well-deserved place in the #GoogleGraveyard (better deserved, in fact, than many other of their products)

Thx, Google. After years trying to explain to my normie friends & family how to "cast", you went & discontinued the Chromecast last year. This is what you get. 🪦💀

Pour one out for Google Tables. 💀 The work-tracking tool and Airtable rival is officially heading to the Google Graveyard, to be discontinued by December 16, 2025. Another product added to the list. What's your go-to no-code database tool now that Tables is getting the axe?

#BigTech really seems to enjoy lighting the fuse to the hypothetical explosive, letting it explode in their face, and then screaming about it happening.

Yet another product is bound for the #GoogleGraveyard as #Google is incapable of not killing their own products, while Microsoft is enshittifying everything they get the damn hands on. Eventually, even companies using ActiveDirectory, Azure (i.e. the entire MS Stack) will dump #Microsoft if they keep this behaviour up, and there will be no coming back from that.

And then, of course, there's the #AI companies which are as awful as usual

@waxy Google just cannot keep itself from killing its own products, can it? I'm honestly surprised that YouTube still exists, tbh.

Chrome Beta (multiple Google Account support)
Google Maps Go (lighter, smaller, less resource-intensive instance of Maps)
Gallery
Google Translate
Google Go (supports incognito search & has built-in Reader mode)

Installed a few of these! Now I guess I should start a Google Graveyard countdown for each of them. 🪦 ⏳

9to5Google: Thoughts on Google Voice’s future as 2024 had no new features. “One thing that might be comforting is that I don’t think Google will ever fully kill Voice. The backlash to that would be tremendous and akin to Google killing Gmail, even though Voice has orders of magnitude less users (‘millions’ in the US as of 2017). Deprecating a communication product that has been around for […]

@Skylled @9to5google Following up on this story from last year. No update.

Yet another unfinished product from the always-distracted Google. 📱 🚗

Google Graveyard? How about a Hall of Incomplete Google Projects?

Never, ever, ever, ever, everrrrr, buy Google hardware and rely on software if it comes from Google. Maybe another product manager got promoted for making a new unique fitness tracking app. #ProductManagement #GoogleGraveyard #HowManyMore

There’s a reason I don’t use my Gmail address for much anymore. Privacy aside, I just don’t trust that it’s even going to exist in 10 more years, let alone 5, given the rate Google keeps killing products.

This company's such a train wreck. The sad thing about it is that when these behemoths throw their weight behind something like this, it sucks all the oxygen out of the environment for a smaller competitor who may end up being more sustainable in the long-term.

What would the term for Google's tendency to kill off their products 6 minutes after their launch?

Funny to me that I'm still getting these kinds of notifications from Google Podcasts Manager (RIP).

#GooglePodcasts is gone — and so is my faith in #Google
The #podcast app is only the latest good Google thing to die. And if Google ever wants us to buy into its promises again, this has to stop. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24118873/google-podcasts-shutdown-graveyard

It is April 3, 2024, and I am able to listen to podcasts in Google Podcasts.

The history of Google Podcasts...

#KilledByGoogle #GoogleGraveyard #podcasting

I guess Google podcasts is going to be yet another product I use until literally the day they yoink it from me (The other being inbox).

I'm sure there's a Google manager somewhere wondering why people aren't as hyped to use Google products anymore

Since Google Podcasts is going to the Graveyard, what's a good/straightforward way to listen to podcasts on Android? #podcast #googlepodcasts #googlegraveyard #mbmbam

Take a trip down memory lane with some of the great products google has killed off:

- Google Podcasts
- Stadia
- Android Auto for Phones
- Google+
- iGoogle
- Google Reader
- Picasa
- Google Cardboard

Anyone need an unopened Google Daydream View headset? They killed the platform before I could open the box. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Daydream

I'll also throw in a used Google Cardboard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cardboard

Free if you can pick them up in person in Philly. And even if you don't want them, I'd really appreciate any ideas for using them instead of throwing them out.

UPDATE: Gone to a good home, thank you Jawns!

I kinda wish #mwmbl would take off, but it needs way better moderation tools. Google did actually do a trial run of the same idea - allowing users to vote for the results, but also to report things being /wrong/.

Google is shutting down yet another useful service. They'll still have Wallet, but it doesn't have the ability to send and receive money from people

"Effective February 22, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today."

Google once again showing they cannot be trusted to maintain things long term lmao

I think #Google #Daydream may have been my most disappointing #GoogleGraveyard product.

I do Google rewards because eh, free Pokémon Go money... But I bet it will be joining the #GoogleGraveyard one of these days soon, because it seems to casually waste its customers' money.

Like, I just watched a video, usually a "lucrative" endeavor, and then the next (2nd) of 7 questions was "Do you live in Connecticut?"

Google, you know where I fucking live. You literally know exactly where I am, in my house, at this very instant. If the people running a survey about this video only want Connecticut-ters, why the fuck are you wasting MY time?

Thanks to those who helped with my #DomainRegistrar search. I wanted to act before #GoogleDomains transferred my #Domains to #Squarespace.

After a review of suggested companies’ histories, websites, and pricing, I’ve started transferring my domains to #Porkbun. #Google has made it fast to transfer domains out of Google Domains. The transfer was done in an hour, unlike the 7+ days that register.com put me through in 2021.

Google Podcasts and Jamboard are the latest additions to the #GoogleGraveyard. 😕

https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23894509/google-jamboard-whiteboarding-app-graveyard

There are only a few things that Google has ever committed to long term and this is why I stopped using their products outside of work. Instead of improving on something to make it competive, they either burn it down or create a competing service. Or both.

Latest on the chopping block? Google Podcasts (RIP) will be joining Google Domains, Inbox, Duo, Stadia, Reader, Play Music, etc. etc. etc. in the great Google Graveyard.

Good thing I switched to another podcast app long ago.

This is why I stuck with PocketCasts.

Google Podcasts is going to the graveyard as YouTube Music takes over

Google Podcasts is going away in 2024, following the global rollout of podcasts in YouTube Music.

Dug up this New Yorker cartoon gem from my Album Archive.

I guess I'll just stick this ZIP file somewhere. 😊

PSA: Google is deleting some old Hangouts photos this week

It's hard to say exactly what is getting deleted, but it's easy to download.
