Picnik, who was one of the best photo editors on the Internet, is especially sorry. Probably, its functionality will eventually appear on Google+.

Picnik online photo editor was acquired by Google in 2010. The service will stop its work on April 19, 2012, and the development team will be transferred to the creation of similar functionality for other Google products. You can download the zip file with your work using Picnik Takeout , or simply transfer them to Google+. From now until the photo editor closes, the premium service becomes free for everyone, and the paid subscribers will be refunded.
The web platform for publishing and managing Needlebase databases, which was purchased from ITA Software, will be closed from June 1, 2012. The technology itself will try to integrate into other Google products.
The Social Graph API platform for creating an open social network on the Network was not sufficiently widespread and will cease operation on April 20, 2012.
Urchin's web analytics system was purchased in 2005 and became the basis for creating an online Google Analytics service. Now it's time to say goodbye to a desktop program known as Urchin Software. All Urchin Software licenses will expire after March 2012.
The corporate service Google Message Continuity , which enabled Microsoft Exchange clients to make backups on Google’s mail servers, will also be closed.
