For all its might, Google is no 'product-killer'

Gmail is another exception and is definitely a huge success, but it hasn't yet killed yahoo and hotmail in numbers. Overall I agree with Dan Frommer that except for search Google is no 'product-killer', its definitely one of the companies that tries to do innovative stuff but many of their experiments fail. Of the all the experiments that failed for Google, froogle and Google Checkout are the most surprising ones that they let go without much fight. While Google Checkout kept failing, Paypal, Amazon pay phrase, even iTunes and some startups have been innovating and moving forward steadily.
While Froogle failed, TheFind, Retrevo and others have been making impressive moves.
