Back in 2011, Google's incoming CEO Larry Page promised to put 'more wood behind fewer arrows.' Since then, Google has made good on the promise and proceeded to shut down a large number of products (Reader, iGoogle, Buzz), and integrated or combined many others. Now, after watching Google's I/O 2014 keynote, it would seem that Google's spartan, utilitarian days are over: We're now back to Google's timeworn strategy of throwing product ideas at a wall to see what sticks. Has Google lost the plot again, or is there a method in the madness?
