Google Giveth, and Taketh Away: Google Video, Notebook, Catalog Search, Jaiku, and Dodgeball to Shut Down

A number of Google services just announced that they are about to shut down. The Google Video team announced that it will shut down uploads in a few months, while the Google Notebook team announced that it is stopping development (the service will continue to function, however).

According to Danny Sullivan, Google is also closing Jaiku, a Twitter-like micro-blogging service that was bought by Google before it even launched, but which has lingered in invite-only mode ever since. Google Catalog search, which made shopping catalogs searchable, will also be closed soon.
Update: Google will release the Jaiku code under the open source Apache license, so that other organizations can pick up where the Google team left off. It is not clear if current users will be able to transfer their accounts.
Another, relatively unknown project that is being closed now, is the Mashup Editor, which was based on the Google App Engine, and never left a very limited, private beta.
Will You Miss These Services?
That Google would shut down Google Video is not exactly a surprise, given that Google's own YouTube is far more popular. Google's Catalog Search will probably only be missed by very few users. We are, however, sad to see Google Notebook (one of our favorite Firefox addons), Jaiku, and Dodgeball go. These services had a lot of potential - and a lot of it remained untapped as Jaiku and Dodgeball remained almost unchanged after they were acquired by Google.
However, the current economic climate is probably making even a highly profitable company like Google focus on its core assets. None of the services that are being closed now had a lot of users and probably brought in very little to no revenue.
Also: Changes to Engineering and Recruiting
Shutting down these services was only part of Google's announcements today. In addition, Google announced that it is winding down almost all of its contracts with external contractors and vendors providing recruiting services to Google. Google will also cut 100 internal positions.
On the engineering side, Google is shutting down its offices in Austin, Texas; Trondheim, Norway; and Lulea, Sweden. The company is asking the employees who work there to move to Mountain View.
What About GrandCentral?
One service in Google's line-up we have always wondered about is GrandCentral - another service that was acquired before it even went public. Just like some of the services that Google is closing now, GrandCentral never came out of its invite-only mode after being acquired by Google. The fact that it is not being closed now, though, leads us to believe that Google is still having plans for this service.

Mobile Payments Getting Traction On Social Networks, But Fees Are Sky High

The users are more and more the election of the payments by movable telephone simple removal of SMS for the micro-operations in the social sites of the applications and the games of network (to fill the emptiness in the hope that the options are more direct), but the transaction tariffs are super high limit development.

The problem is that the mass of transactions - specifically the deceit that give to the users a call tone " gratis" with small letter that is mentioned a monthly position of U.S. $ 20 - they have brought as much money in cash to the carriers who have taken customary 50% or more of the total of the payment of taxes. Reason why the market the transactions are included were legal, those rates must fall dramatically. So that this happens, the social networks need to obtain directly involved in the negotiations of carrier.

Two companies, both have lodging in Europe, they are already indicating that the payments like an objective for movable applications - Mobillcash (the United Kingdom) and Zong (Switzerland).

When you buy rifle of hunting in virtual Mobwars, for example (and she sells a pile to me of them, until a maximum of $ 1 million per month) you must pay the money in cash. You can choose to pay by a series of services (Facebook does not offer a direct payment, nevertheless), including Mobillcash or Zong. If Zong chooses, please díganos its telephone number in the site, to obtain a text message with a code of four digits, fits the code in the ready site and. It is the sensation of much more easy to load a transaction that takes place outside a line of Amazon-that it takes.
What Happens If Carriers Ignore the Opportunity

Chances are the carriers won’t lower their exorbitant payment fees anytime soon. What I’m guessing will happen is that services like Zong and MobillCash, as they add valuable users who like to pay via SMS, will simply offer to move those users to credit card payments. Users still pay by just entering in their phone number and then typing in a 4 digit code they receive via SMS, but the charge would go to their credit card instead of their phone. The difference in fees is so large that customers can be offered a very large incentive to simply store their credit card and use that instead of having the charge go to their phone bill. And checking out is still much, much simpler than typing in your name, address and credit card details.
