Google closes Notebook and other services.

As planned , Google has begun to cut costs and systematically close non-core projects.

So, in the very near future, Google Catalogs , Google Notebook , Dodgeball services, an analogue of Jaiku twitter (its sources will be open to everyone) and Google Mashup Editor will be closed. All this - the official announcements that are published in various blogs and have already been confirmed by representatives of the company. For example, the partial closure of Google Notebook is written here . Partial closure means that already registered users will be able to continue working (although support for the Google Notebook Extension browser extension will be discontinued). New registrations will be closed, and further development of the service is completely stopped.

In addition, the reception of a new video on the video hosting Google Video will be suspended. At the same time, the company plans to increase limits on videos that are uploaded on Youtube. Unlike everything else, stopping the development of Google Video is quite a logical step that was expected from the moment you bought Youtube video hosting.
