A comment on Periodic Table of Google APIs.

The table is a bit misleading; lots of these entries aren't web APIs - Google TV optimisation guide, V8 source repository, Java developer tools.

The more accurate name (that we use sometimes) would be "Google Developer Products", but that just doesn't slip off the tongue as nicely.

When I started at Google, all of our APIs were true APIs, and my title was "API support engineer." Then we started developing these not-quite-API tools and platforms, and my titled changed to "Developer Programs Engineer". Also doesn't quite slip off the tongue. I do miss those simple days when we only had APIs... Alas!
