There’s No Success Like Failure: Google’s Biggest Product Flops
http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/18/is-google-me-nex/
Here’s some infographic perspective on the eve of Facebook’s copycat
Facebook Places launch, which has some ringing the death knell for location
based startups Foursquare and Gowalla.
A stroll through the Google graveyard is a lesson in how rarely it works out
when successful companies stop focusing on their core competency to go after
the little guys. Between Wave, Jaiku, and Foursquare precursor Dodgeball,
Google’s a repeat offender in the “failing to kill the next big thing”
department.
With the launch of today’s check-in utility, it seems like the Facebook
product team might be following in the search giant’s startup-crushing
footsteps. After all, when was the last time you asked a Facebook Question?
