http://www.itwire.com – One of the things that's admirable about Google is its capacity to try different things out. Google Maps has been a clear winner but Wave was less so. As the northern spring kicks in, Google is cleaning out some of the experiments and apps that are no longer needed. (IT news)

Stories similar to Google culls unwanted apps and services

On my Samsung Nexus, I am running version 4.1.1. When I go into Google Maps and at the top click on Search Maps, it has a history of all the places I have searched. How do I clear this list?

I have tried going Settings, Apps, Google Maps and Clear Data. Then went back to Google Maps and its still there.

It’s that time again when Google does its “Spring” Cleaning. Basically, that means the company axes the stuff that really isn’t working and takes up too much time or resources.

From LinuxBSDos.com.Google has announced that the Google Reader service will not be available after July 1 of this year (2013). The service, which provided a “cloud” portal for aggregating News feeds from several RSS Feed sources, is the latest victim of Google’s spring-cleaning. Since the spring-cleaning started in 2011.

I am setting up a small site that has the need to be able to programmatically send mail from time to time. Password resets and things like that.

Google has rolled out an update to their Google Play services, which features some pretty cool new features. Both new maps APIs and Google+ sign-in are features present in the update. Google+ sign-in allows users to sign in to their applications using Google credentials, which brings along all of their Google information with them for the app.

When checking settings/apps/running apps, I see that Google Services and Maps show two running instances of each. I am running 4.2.1 on my nexus 7, and I don't see any performance problems with battery life or apps. Everything seems just fine. I just wonder if this is something I need to pursue and correct. Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Soon, we should all see better maps within some of the apps that we use. Today, Google launched an update to their Maps API that developers will use to incorporate Google Maps into their apps. This new API version will benefit both developers on the front-end as well as users on their end.
