I think if these projects were branded as Google Beta, or under Google Labs, people would be less disappointed when they get shut down.

I agree wholly here. Google needs to be much more upfront when floating experiments. It's good that they do, but the signaling needs to be better. Or even different branding altogether. It would go a long way to help their image.

Gmail was in "beta" for years and years, I don't think this would actually solve anything.
