Who didn't see this coming with the +1 thing popping up on almost every major site on the interwebs? Seems Larry is killing off a lot of their less successful ventures. Just hope he doesn't kill Google Books.

What ever happened to the Live button on the search bar? It would bring up Twitter, Facebook, etc. posts referencing what you search for. I used to use it to make sure everybody else hated all the celebrities I hated.

If an app with no users is deleted, will it made a sound?

Oh no! I'll lose all twelve of my Vietnamese followers on Buzz!

Jerks.

As a coder, I never understood how Google Code Search was different from Google, just, y'know, Search. If the code is accessible via http it'll be indexed in the regular index too, right?

Not at all. Regular Google Search doesn't index version control repositories. (It also doesn't let you search through a single file, though that's less important.)

Buzz was shiat. The real shame is killing Wave. I know it wasn't popular, but once people realized what it was capable of, it would have caught on.

Good. I didn't like the way they implemented it, and you had to turn it off and opt out. It was definitely a "New Coke" event for Google as far as I am concerned.

I actually had google buzz and google+ confused, so I was thinking the latter had been cancelled instead of the former. Interestingly, they are both equally useless to me, so they could both get killed and I wouldn't give two whits.

I think G+ is going down the same path that google wave did. There needs to be a compelling reason for people to overcome their facebook inertia.

Not even close. G+ has a considerable number of people on it who have done more than "What am I supposed to do with this?" posted.

My stream is always busy and, thus far, there is far better dialog than I ever saw on FB.
