The Google graveyard: all the products Google has shut down

Google releases a lot of products, but it shuts down a lot of them, too. Some didn&rsquo;t deserve to be discontinued (we pine for the days of Reader and Inbox), and some probably weren&rsquo;t long for this world from the start. (What was Google Wave supposed to be, anyway?) The company actually used to shut down products with quarterly &ldquo;spring cleanings,&rdquo; but now, it just does so whenever it&rsquo;s time for another product to be put out to pasture.
Follow along here for all our coverage of everything Google sends to the graveyard.
