RIP to these 7 Google apps

Google has always been one of the boldest tech companies when it comes to experimenting. It launches services in nearly every corner of our digital lives, from social networking and messaging to music, gaming, and productivity. Yet, just as quickly as it creates new tools, it has a long history of quietly shutting them down. Sometimes the reasoning is clear, whether it is low adoption, stronger alternatives, or a change in strategy. Other times, it feels as though Google pulls the plug on apps that were genuinely loved and still useful.
