More on Google MashUp Editor’s Demise
March 2, 2009
Sys-Con has some interesting information. It also has one of those annoying embedded video ads that run when the page displays. Before you navigate here, you may want to turn down your sound or get your mouse ready to turn off the intrusive ad. Sys-con is not a consumer television station.
The article that caught my attention was “Google Axes Mashup Editor to Focus on Cloud Infrastructure” here. The trimming of certain Google services has been a popular blog topic in the last month or two. The Sys-Con artcle does a good job of pulling together the mashup editor story. The idea, according to Google, is that Google wants to push the App Engine front and center. The article also pointed out that when Google finishes porting Jaiku to App Engine, the copmany “will release the new open source Jaiku Engine project on Google Code under the Apache License.”
Google seems to be making an effort to support open source. Simplifying its products and services is even better.
