There’s No Success Like Failure: Google’s Biggest Product Flops

by Alexia Tsotsis on Aug 18, 2010  TechCrunch

Here’s some infographic perspective on the eve of Facebook’shttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.40/t.gif copycat Facebook Places launch, which has some ringing the death knellhttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.40/t.gif for location based startups Foursquare and Gowalla.

A stroll through the Googlehttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.40/t.gif 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-crushinghttp://i.ixnp.com/images/v6.40/t.gif footsteps. After all, when was the last time you asked a Facebook Question?
