Dump This, Abandon That

While most people are familiar with Android devices, Gmail, and Google maps, failures at Google are less often remembered. Today, Google announced that it would close iGoogle in November 2013. iGoogle allowed users to personalize a home page with applications such as news feeds, stock quotes, and weather. This is the 30th product scrapped by Google since Larry Page became CEO 15 months ago. Apparently, Google realizes that there is an option to abandon an unsuccessful product. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-phasing-igoogle-latest-purge-185517633.html
