Google’s interests are spread far and wide and it is almost a ritual for the internet juggernaut to develop and maintain interests in a new internet niche. Although Google has struck the jackpot with a few of its punts, it has far too many experimental ventures for each one of them to be successful. Now Google has decided to close some of its experimental services in part or completely
It has resolved to retire Google Catalog Search, Google Notebook – existing account holders will not be affected, Dodgeball, microblogging website Jaiku, and the Google Mashup Editor. Also, Google Video users will not be allowed to upload new videos in a few months, though their old content will remain intact.

Its funny most IT professionals and hobbiests alike that I know, knew nothing of most of these services. Maybe google should have advertised them or at least make them known, and they may have attracted a larger crowd.
