I've literally never heard of Keen until this article.
No surprise. Nobody talks about new Google projects any more, since the assumption is they'll be gone in a year.
Edit: Not even hyperbole. This very article states Keen was launched in 2020 and stopped receiving updates in 2021. They shelved it in literally a year.
At least they didnt intigrate it with Gmail or some other insane bloat they like to do.
I'd have appreciated them integrating Google reader with Gmail instead of killing it off
That's a nice, if sad, thought
My ass is still a little chapped from Google Plus integration with Youtube.
Cursed with multiple accounts to this day for a stupid service they could barely force me to use.
