In killing Inbox, Google takes another swipe at its most passionate users
Google&#x27;s shutdown of products and APIs seems to have led to critical level of trust loss amongst developers and influencers.<p>It&#x27;s time for Google to either fix this or get out of providing services and APIs to developers.<p>Google doesn&#x27;t seem to put any weight at all on the outcry every time its shutters another service&#x2F;API.<p>The trust must be restored.<p>Google doesn&#x27;t seem to understand that when they shut service X, that their (potential) customers for service Y (such as Google Compute Engine) become concerned that service Y will be shut down too.<p>To put a positive suggestion forward, Google could consider giving all services a &quot;sunset guarantee&quot;.<p>A &quot;sunset guarantee&quot; is a commitment that the service will be shut down only with a minimum notice period of say for example 5 years.
