Dana Fried, Google Chrome ’s development staff, published the photo with a tweet “I do n’t know if it ’s creepy or just sad”. The photo shows a tombstone with the name and logo of a Google service that is no longer available, such as Picasa , Google Buzz , Google Reader , Google wave , Google+, etc.



The tombstone was prepared for Halloween at the end of October and was set up in the main lobby of the Google Fremont campus in Seattle.

Mr. Fried expresses his condolences for 'Rest in pieace, G +' (Google+, peacefully) and Google+, which just ended in April 2019.



In the reply field, there were several people who were shocked by the lack of the “ Inbox ” email app that just ended in 2019.




'My heart is tearing again with Google Reader'



Some people pointed out that there is no tombstone of the URL shortening service that ended in March 2019, saying ' goo.gl that has completely died is forgotten.'



In addition, the grave was made only a part of the service that Google ended, and all the services that Google has finished providing so far can be checked on 'Google Cemetery' of the unofficial site.
