What is the next service Google will shut down?

So most of us have probably noticed that Google are shutting down more and more services. For instance Google Reader and Google Affiliate Network.

But who's next to go down?

    How would anyone outside Google know?

    They engineered the shutdown of reader themselves.

    I never liked Reader but Im sure its a pain for users. I use Netvibes for rss feeds but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as Im looking for a new one as I monitor a lot of feeds. Ive used Feedly in the past but that was some time ago. Might be worth a look again but does anyone have any suggestions?

    They occasionally prune bits that aren't getting the usage, look at buzz and wave, which just didn't get traction. Makes sense. Yahoo just dumped a whole load of low use services too.
