This page is dedicated to showing remnants of dead Google services that still exist on Google's website somewhere. It is largely inspired by the Google Graveyard. In some cases, remnants of services discontinued over a decade ago still have pages explaining their discontinuation or still contain redirects to other pages. This page is dedicated to cataloging them.
This page would open after installing the Internet Explorer version of Google Toolbar. It contains references to many other dead Google services, such as Google+.
Google Toolbar was available for Firefox, but due to many of its features being made available for Firefox, it was discontinued. The announcement links to a Blogger article about the discontinuation.
This is one of, if not the last support page about Google+ on Google Support. It's rather sad, just saying you need to go to plus.google.com to sign up for Google+. The article is only three sentences long.
This is the former URL Google+ was hosted on. Instead of leading to a page about Google+ being discontinued, this page confusingly redirects to a Google Workspace Updates blog article on Blogger. There's a note at the top of the page about Google+ deprecation, but the rest of the page seems completely unrelated.
This page contains the archive of the ill fated Google Answers, discontinued in December of 2006 (nearly two decades before the writing of this entry). All of the discussions have been preserved here. It appears as if it's gone completely untouched ever since it was discontinued, so it looks extremely outdated in comparison to most Google websites. At the bottom of the FAQ page is a copyright date of 2006.
This was the page for Google Desktop, a program that allowed users to search their files similarly to searching the Web via Google. It was discontinued in 2011. When accessing Google Desktop's page, you are near instantly redirected to a Blogspot blog that is no longer open to the public. If you stop loading the page quick enough, you can see the extremely bare HTML page screenshotted above. The link just leads to the same Blogspot blog.
Picasa was a photo organizer tool which was discontinued in 2015 and replaced with Google Photos. A page about the discontinuation still exists.
Writely was an in-browser word processor, which was quite revolutionary for its time. In 2006, it was killed in favor of rebranding it to Google Docs. Google apparently still owns the domain for Writely, as it redirects to Google Drive. This article was written when Writely was active and shows screenshots of what it looked like.
Stadia was a video game streaming service offered by Google. Due to its unpopularity, it was discontinued. This page hosts a firmware update allowing Google Stadia controller owners to update their controller's firmware to make it a general Bluetooth controller.
fflick was a website that showed information about movies scraped from Twitter. It was purchased and killed by Google. The website still exists, and simply says "Fflick has been acquired by Google, Inc. For media inquiries please contact press@google.com. Interestingly, the website uses the modern Google logo and incorrectly formats the service's name as "Fflick", with an uppercase F. The service was discontinued in 2011."
Gears added functionality such as offline file storage capabilities to web apps. The former URL of Gears now redirects to a Blogspot blog page regarding the discontinuation.
A Blogspot blog for Gears. Despite not having any new posts since 2011, it's still up and uses the old Google Code logo.
Google Code was a version control system hosted by Google for software development. It was discontinued in 2016. There is still a landing page with links to its replacements. The landing page has a copyright date of 2017.
Google Code Archive exists to host the projects which Google hosted on Google Code. It uses an outdated design compared to modern Google pages.
Jaiku was a social media website founded around when Twitter was founded. Visiting the domain it was hosted on leads to a generic 404 error.
Google Related helped Google users find related content while searching the Web. Its page now displays a generic discontinued page, similar to the Firefox Google Toolbar page in design.
Picnik was a photo editing service acquired by then killed by Google. It still has a page about the discontinuation despite being discontinued in 2013.
Yet another service acquired by Google, then axed. This page details the discontinuation.
