[1]In killing Inbox, Google takes another swipe at its most passionate
  users | Computerworld:

    For all its skill and dominance in artificial intelligence, Google
    can be surprisingly lacking in the natural kind.

    In move after move, Google snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
    And all because the company's culture is blind to the value of
    passionate users.

    I'm quite certain that Google watches user numbers and applies
    analytics to everything it can measure. A radically analytical
    approach is powerful, but it can blind you to the factors that
    cannot be measured. Factors such as user passion.

  Google is the [2]poster child of both embracing Software-as-a-Service
  (SaaS) and avoiding SaaS like the plague. SaaS can remove short-term
  uncertainty while introducing long-term uncertainty. Unless you
  represent a giant multinational corporation with strong contractual
  language you cannot dictate what a SaaS provider does with their
  product, even so far as discontinuing it.

  What is your Business Continuity Plan (BCP), professional and personal?
