Google stops work on Sky Map, Picnik, GMC, Social Graph API, and more | The Verge
The company has just announced that it’s shutting down its email backup platform Google Message Continuity (GMC) — citing that more and more businesses are moving to Google Apps — as well as the online photo editor Picnik. You’ll have until April 19th to download your files from the latter, and Google says premium members will be reimbursed soon. Google’s also cutting off the Sky Map app for Android, which has over 20 million installs, though Google says the maps it’s based on will live on in the world of open source. It’s not clear if Google is going to pull the current app from the Android Market or if it’s just going to stop releasing updates. Finally, Needlebase, Social Graph API, and Urchin are on the way out, too.
Who used these anyway? That’s my problem with Google they try too much sometimes and often times fail because of it who remembers Wave and Buzz?

Google’s gone black and pretty soon so will Tumblr, Wikipedia, Reddit and some other big sites. Where as I will miss Tumblr the cause is important because if SOPA passes this could really happen.
Freedom of Speech is what this country was built on and honestly people have been using other peoples content for years now…sad, but true, but still it’s a part of that freedom and if they can censor us in real life why do it online.
We need to protect the shared information and our favorite sites so sign the petition now and stop this ridiculous bill from passing. You can sign it here: https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/
In the mean time TUMBLR I shall miss you. :( Wikipedia students will miss you and Reddit your opinion-ists will miss you. Farewell my favorite sites.
Internet 2011 in numbers - Global desktop web browser market share
Anyone else shocked that that many people still use IE? I question these numbers, but it could be true. I’m a chrome/Firefox user myself they get the best plugins.
