I use lots of Google products (Chrome, Gmail, Gcal, YouTube, and Google itself) and like them, but I’m wary of using new Google projects because the company has a history of releasing something, allowing a user base to grow, then yanking the rug out from under everyone by killing the project. This site shows 147 dead Google projects. I miss Google Reader, and will miss Google URL Shortener, Inbox, and even Google+.
Look at all the dead projects in this Google Graveyard
