Had an initial reaction upon seeing this post and came here to "share" only to find that so many have the same reaction. It just smells like a product that Google will be killing at some point in the not-too-distant future.

I get the whole idea behind the current environment to just throw stuff against the wall, see what sticks, then iterate.

That's great for start-ups, but, I would suggest that it is actually a problem when a well-established company does this repeatedly. In addition to Google just appearing flaky (which in itself is not good), customers do lose faith in the company's commitment to its customers/users and to their products in general.
