Google: The Quick, the Sick, and the Dead

In the spirit of the Dapocalypse, and inspired by a recent Google Sites bug, I'm going divide the Google products I pay attention to into three groups: The Quick, The Sick, and the Dead.

This would not be a good time to start relying on items in the Sick list.

The Dead

• Google Notebook*

* Zombie, or walking dead

I'll revise the list over time, but I think most migration will be downwards.
