Productive Innovation @ Google Stalled?

Google may say “Failure is always an option at Google”, but from the recent developments and the kind of closures of businesses/developments coming out of Google, looks like its got a tough road ahead for not only just innovating, but getting profits out of it too! Closure of online Google Nexus store, stoppage of development of Wave, a weak attempt to tackle Twitter with low intensity ‘Buzz’, on-course project to challenge the social networking giants ‘Facebook’ with already a fading app ‘Orkut’ in arsenal! All these don’t look like Google, the one who still reigns in the domain of search! Maybe its because of ever-growing competitors or delay by Google to enter into a particular field. It may be doing huge profits in Search field, but from technology and innovation perspective, it long time due for Google to come out with something big, eye-catching and off-course profitable! Can look out for Google Apps and Android!

Never such a piece of code in life!
