This list is wildly inaccurate:

- Picasa was much better than Google Photos

- Google+ as a social network is gone, for all intents and purposes

- Google Desktop Search isn't even mentioned

- most importantly they killed the original Google search. The quality we see today is how Googles competitors used to be ;-)

(The last is a joke, but also true, try this query and tell me how many of the top 10 results actually contains the phrase "express-http-proxy": https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&client=firefox-b-m... . FWIW this ha been going on since at least 2013 which is the first occurence I can find where I document that they ignore both double quotes and verbatim: http://techinorg.blogspot.com/2013/03/?m=0)
