An entertaining list that also serves as a warning.
My small business got whacked by relying on Checkout for purchases and Gears for a development project. Personally, I invested much time into Picassa and Portfolios. And they bought and then ruined Waze!
My takeaway (slow learner) - I will never, ever again invest time and money into a Google service or product. A company small enough to have skin in the game is a much better gamble.
