Great headline.
Google Giveth, and Taketh Away
A number of Google services just announced that they are about to shut down. The Google Video team announced that it will shut down uploads in a few months, while the Google Notebook team announced that it is stopping development (the service will continue to function, however). According to Danny Sullivan, Google is also closing Jaiku, a Twitter-like micro-blogging service that was bought by Google before it even launched, but which has lingered in invite-only mode ever since. Google Catalog search, which made shopping catalogs searchable, will also be closed soon.
Translating from Bourgeois. Google is closing a bunch of services: there will be no more video uploads to Google Video (they advise going to YouTube), Google Notebook (which I tried to use) won't be updated anymore, and the microblogging service Jaiku shut down without even opening.
