Google continues to eliminate services

Since one of the founders of Google, Larry Page took over as CEO two years ago, many of the services that the firm began offering search engine to be dropped for various reasons. Now it has been announced that another 8 Google services will not be available in a few months.

What are they? For the following: Apps Script API CalDAV, the Building Maker, Cloud Connect, Google Voice for BlackBerry, Shopping API and finally Snapseed Macintosh. But wait, those are seven still missing one, and the truth is that I'll mention it separately because it is a well-used product: Google Reader. It seems that all of them will be retired on July 1.

Google admits that the Reader has its loyal followers, so it's not entirely clear because it removed. For now nor have announced future service that can serve as a replacement for all these, but perhaps one day be thrown. For now at least we can use the Calendar API as replacement CalDAV API, Map Maker as the new Building Maker and Google Cloud Drive as a replacement for Connect.
