Agree. I just don't really buy his "100% competitor focused" statement. Isn't Google X and moonshot projects serve as Google's innovation hub?
those aren`t part of google any more.
They've also been massively cut back on, and anything that doesn't look like a sure path to profitability has been killed by the CFO, Ruth Porat.
Those things exist, but are they successful?
I mean they literally just announced a new company that graduated their incubator.
The parent asked if they were successful. Google "graduating" them (I presume this includes... a party?) doesn't indicate success: They have no product and no revenue at this time. It is a drain on Google's ad revenue profits, and someone hopes it might someday be more.
Chronicle... exists. That's about all it has going for it right now.
