For the most part, the choices any of us would have made a year ago...expect for Notebook, but even there I can kind of understand, due to it's limited adoption rate. Knol is a prime candidate for round 2, in my estimation. Perhaps it's time to get the "Google Service Dead Pool" started. Lis - you've got Knol. I'm going with the long overdue removal of the "Feeling Lucky" link on the google search. Not a service, but it's been said they loose over 17 million a year due to that link taking people away from the SERP. The rumor vine has it that this is just the first round of product cuts.

Yes they do have their stuff ups which is nice to know when you are trying to figure out why your site just got buried on page 1000 for its keyword LOL I’m slightly surprised that knol isn’t on the list!
