Google has just announced that it’s killing off a few of its services the other day, which coincidentally, also includes the company’s social media failure, Google Buzz. Buzz had a lot of privacy issues at launch, so much so that it was universally criticized by a majority of the technorati (if you don’t believe us, start typing in Google Buzz privacy into Google and see what the autocomplete does). If you’re one of the few people still using Buzz, Google says that you’ll be able to view your previous content on your Google+ profile and liberate whatever data you have on Google Takeout. Other services getting the ax are Code Search, Jaiku, iGoogle’s social features and the University Research Program for Google Search.
