Even a novice at internet knows that Google Rocks on internet.Google services are so much popular across the globe that they challenge the established masters of any field from the day of their launch.We have seen this in the case of Gmail,Orkut,adsense, analytics,docs,pages,site and many more services.Either they were so efficient that they lead the set players of the filed or they were quite innovative to create a new field for themselves and they rule that field.This is what we know about Google and listen about Google.
But do you know that there were some services of Google that were not so popular among internet users and some of them even can't make it up to the mark.Some of them are closed now and some of them are waiting for it or either they need a complete makeover to make a mark.
1.Google answers:
Google Answers was a knowledge market offered by Google that allowed users to post bounties for well researched answers to their queries. It was launched in April 2002, and moved out of Beta in May 2003. In late November 2006, Google reported that it planned to permanently shut down the service, and it was fully closed to new activity by late December 2006, although its archives remain available.
2.Google web accelerator:
Google Web Accelerator is a web accelerator produced by Google. It uses client software installed on the user's computer, as well as data caching on Google's servers, to speed up page load times by means of data compression, prefetching of content, and sharing cached data between users. The beta, released on May 4, 2005.
3.Google Moon:
Google Moon is a service similar to Google Maps that shows satellite images of the Moon. It was launched by Google on July 20, 2005, the 36th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. The landing site of each of the Apollo missions is shown on the satellite image, providing more information on each mission as the user zooms in
4.Google Co-op:
Google Co-op is a platform provided by Google that allows web developers to feature specialized information in web searches, refine and categorise queries and create customized search engines, based on Google Web Search. Google launched the service on May 10, 2006.
5.Google Gears:
Google Gears is beta software offered by Google to enable offline access to services that normally only are available online. It installs a database engine, based on SQLite, on the client system to cache the data locally. Google Gears-enabled pages use data from this local cache rather than from the online service. Using Google Gears, a web application may periodically synchronize the data in the local cache with the online service.
This is nice but the problem is that if a network connection is not available, the synchronization is deferred until a network connection is established.
6.Google pack:
Google Pack is a free ‘essential software‘ package from Google. Provides wide selection of tools ranging from office software and photo management to security applications. Package available in over 20 languages and comes with auto-update program that handles updates for all programs within the pack.The release puzzled some industry observers, as it appeared to be a collection of unrelated software.
7.Google Deskbar:
Bar on your desktop with a minibrowser built into it. It was discontinued when a very similar feature was added to Google desktop. Some people preferred Google deskbar for its ability to add custom searching and the mini-browser so you wouldn't have to open an actual window. The last release, version 9.95, had a .NET plugin.
8.Google Books Library Project:
Google Books Library Project provides an opportunity to read online or download digitized copies of older or out-of-copyright books — and rare books — from libraries worldwide. Participants in the innovative partnership include the New York Public Library and university libraries. The implications for library research are yet to be understood, but in at the most simplistic level, the project is much like gaining access to information via a local library or interlibrary loan.
9.Google Scholar:
Google Scholar is a freely-accessible Web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the GS index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of the world's largest scientific publishers.
10.Google Video:
Google Video is a free Video sharing website and also a video search engine service from Google that allows anyone to upload video clips to Google's web servers as well as make their own media available free of charge; some videos are also offered for sale through the Google Video Store.For its failure Youtube was a major reason.
Their order has nothing to do with their popularity or failure rate,this is random as ranking them might create a controversy.
But do you know that there were some services of Google that were not so popular among internet users and some of them even can't make it up to the mark.Some of them are closed now and some of them are waiting for it or either they need a complete makeover to make a mark.
