The Google Graveyard
- soupboy 14y agoI actually liked the visualization till I saw Google Glass at the bottom. IMO there was no need to do that.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoDo you doubt it's going to happen?
- vwinsyee 14y agoWhenever it happens or not, I don't think it was necessary to add a product that hasn't died yet to the graveyard.
- pjmlp 14y agoWhen will NaCL join them?
- krcz 14y agoNot before Dart, I guess.
- sbisker 14y agoI was hoping this would be an article about a real Google Graveyard...not for people! but for code. What do large companies like Google do when they kill projects? Surely they don't just rm -rf * the entire machine and repurpose it - do projects like this get archived, and if so, who maintains those archives and why?
- jabakobob 14y agoOnly now I realised they shut down Google Code Search. I tried searching something in an Open Source project recently. The search box on Google Code was still there, but it always returned 0 results... It's quite annoying when they just remove a feature and the only way you find out is by browsing Hacker News.
- afsina 14y agoIT has been a while. But for what it's worth they recently added a search functionality in Google project hosting pages (For in project search). Such as: https://code.google.com/p/dart/codesearch https://code.google.com/p/dart/codesearch
- dave1010uk 14y agoAm I right in thinking the only one to be made Open Source is Google Wave? How much benefit would other projects bring if they were made Open Source?

- tzs 14y agoI have no recollection of ever even hearing of approximately 3/4 of those.
- schuke 14y agoThere should be a tomb for Google.cn They abandoned probably more than 100 million users when they shut it down. Google should grow up and learn to deal with complexities of the real world and do some real good instead of sticking to some vague motto.
