Google Confirms Shut Down of Schemer
An anonymous reader writes "Google has confirmed it is shutting down its goal sharing service Schemer. The company says Schemer's last day will be February 7, after which all data will be permanently deleted. The iOS app has already been pulled from Apple's App Store while the Android app on Google Play hasn't been updated since October 2012."
No, "queue". The "parent", now unfortunately marked "troll" though it is not, means there will be a line of douche bags spewing forth.
I knew the Googleites would rush to downmod me but truth is truth and just look at their history the past year or two since Brin took over, its been house clearing of ANYTHING that doesn't "blow big" within a set period is trashed. And look at how they are practically bitchslapping us with G+, its gotten so bad I now have Pale Moon as my "YouTube browser" just so I won't have Google harping "But don'tcha wanna use your real name and tie into G+? Please? pretty please?" FUCK OF, if I say NO then i mean NO, quit fucking asking me Google!
Mark my words and mark them well the next year and a half Google will continue to bug the shit out of anyone using their services (next up Chrome G+ integration, you watch) until they realize it won't be the next FB and then it'll rot for a year before having its plug pulled. And I wouldn't count on search and maps either if anybody ever takes that #1 slot, just look at how MSFT shat all over Windows when tablets blew up and took the #1 slot.
And to answer your question? The Asian corps value profits, both big AND relatively small, and so as long as a group isn't in the red? it'll tend to stay going. Look at how many of the Asian corps still make tablets even though they aren't Apple, whereas HP puts out ONE model and when it doesn't just blow up and make iPad money? Firesale and dump.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
