A1: Oh so many lost tools along the way. I miss the old Yahoo! Geocities websites. For Google - Jamboard was a crazy withdrawal. Don’t get me started on the things Microsoft has ingested and ruined either… #LTHEchat

Google, if anything, are getting worse at this. I’m also a paid customer, and have a business account for the entire G Suite. Even then, many things have come and gone. #LTHEchat
I cannot get my head around the logic of ditching Jamboard. The fact they helped people transition to Miro must have also symbolised a transfer of business. No sense! #LTHEchat
I heard accounts implying part of this was a management approach whereby people were rewarded for new shiny things and projects, not for the ongoing build/enhancement.

Google - launch product, really push it, randomly close it
MS - build 5 versions of things, not consistent, patch on patch on old code, never clean anything up
Apple - announce shiny new thing, keep it but apparently completed forget it ever existed and no updates
I’d just add that Microsoft build *or buy* 5 different things.
How many times I’ve looked at their multiple list apps, VOIP products and messaging services, trying to figure out the point of the overlaps…
Teams is basically a shiny interface that just sits over SharePoint, Skype for Business and Exchange Server.
