Possibly, but all of the services Google cut were due to mistakes made in the past couple years.

I think the more likely explanation is that companies are using this "downturn" as an excuse to cut the crud without the bad publicity. The effect of this, more than likely, is that the downturn looks worse than it actually is.

And, with oil below $40, can it really be called much of a downturn?
