Does google plan to keep the web version? also, you can still use the desktop app. this seems like a non-issue
Google Earth is likely not profitable to keep it alive. This probably happened with many other services killed previously.
See, Google has just entered its IBM era.
Exactly right.
Google is fine. One of the world’s most profitable companies.
Nothing to see here.
Exactly right. OP determines value differently than a mega corporation.
A company can have money but can lose taste. look at IBM and microsoft
Yahoo did the same thing to its web browser and Yahoo Groups, not to mention Geocities. If something costs more to support than it brings in, a company will end support for it.
