For google services microblogging platform Jaiku, mobile location service Dodgeball, Google Catalog search, and Google Notebook today is the death day.Though google didn't announce the reason the strategy looks simple to shut down extra costs in this recession times.Not only services google is also planning to cut 70 engineers as a part of the cutting costs.
Thuough notebook will be online all the development will be stopped and browser extension is not supported any more.Google Video will also be downgraded, with users no longer able toupload video to the service, being forced to use YouTube instead.Google Video, Google’s original foray into online video before it acquired YouTube is switching off uploads; videos currently uploaded to the service will remain. No word yet as to whether YouTube will now accept video longer than 10 minutes, one of Google Video’s still strong selling points today.
Google will no longer actively develop the Jaiku codebase, the service itself will live on thanks to a dedicated and passionate volunteer team of Googlers.Google have decided to shut down the Mashup Editor, currently in limited private beta, in favor of the more powerful App Engine infrastructure.Existing Mashup Editor applications will stop receiving traffic in six months, and we hope you will join our team in making the exciting transition to App Engine.
