Future of Google Apps Labs Short Links?

[Bob Parker]

Jenns or someone at Google:

With the announcement that Google is closing down Google Labs (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-wood-behind-fewer-arrows.html), can you tell us the future of this service?

Some of us have quite a bit of time (and in the case of domain names, money) invested in this, not to mention published URLs. I would hate to find out that this is all going away simply because Google has decided to drop Labs now. :(

Thanks for any info you can give us!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your concern. Unfortunately, I don't have an
official answer for you right now. The thing about lab was always that
it comes with no warranties about lifetime. That being said, the blog
post also mentions that "in others we’ll incorporate Labs products and
technologies into different product areas." In other words, not
everything in labs will cease to exist.

I do not think that Short Links is in any immediate danger of going
away, although it might mean that the set of features will stay
relatively static for a while. If my assumption is wrong, I'll do my
best to post to this forum as early as possible to give everyone
enough time to export their links.

Best regards,

Jens

I hope that it'll continue to exist for a long time to come ...

I hope this service will be matured till the closing of Labs!

Hi,

I can only repeat what I posted in July:

Jens,

Has Google established a place where people can vote for their favourite Labs projects? I would like to have a way to tell Google how much I appreciate what you have built here.

All the best to you in the new year.

Hi,

I don't think what you suggested exists. I appreciate the positive feedback though :-)

Happy 2012 to you, too.

Best regards,
