Google should create an annual dead product event each year, say on Halloween / Day of the Dead. It would be easier to keep up.

Instead of waiting for the latest product announcement before buying, it will be, wait until November before building on Google so that you know you have at least 11 months of runway with the platform.

Oh man, it's easier than that! I use Google Dampener (tm). It's a new revolutionary, cloud-based product, coming to you soon (tm). Basically works like this - something that Google makes/announces makes you excited? Dampen you expectations. New revolutionary social product? Dampen you expectations! IoT platform? Dampen it! A great RSS Reader? A responsible and honest approach to AI ethics? Unified approach to messaging? Making the world a better place? You've guessed it! Dampen it!

They should host a de:Invent conference. Migration workshops. What to look forward to being canceled next year. Bar events where where participants can pour one out for Reader and Inbox.
