> The best non-yahoo similarity I can find is what Google is doing with Blogger.
That's a good point. But to be fair everything "social" that Google has touched has died with the exception of YouTube.
In fact Google really hasn't done a great job holding onto many other arenas than their main ones. Blogger has been blasted by Medium. Knol was outlasted by Quora. Google Code was beat by Github. Their "shopping" attempts have always been eclipsed by Amazon. They can't get an edge with Google Cloud compared to Azure and AWS.
Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and Android are all success stories. But if you look at their "social" products YT is really the only success story.
EDIT: I use and love Google Photos but I can't remember the last time I heard someone talking about it. Instagram did it with a social spin.
