Google on Friday said it will kill its Buzz social networking tool in favour of young but fast-growing Google+ online community. “We aspire to build great products that really change people’s lives, products they use two or three times a day,” Google product vice president Bradley Horowitz said echoing words oft spoken by chief executive Larry Page. “To succeed you need real focus and thought — thought about what you work on and, just as important, what you don’t work on,” Horowitz continued. “It’s why we recently decided to shut down some products, and turn others into features of existing products.” Google co-founder Larry Page has eliminating products since he took over as chief executive this year in a drive to concentrate resources on promising projects. “In a few weeks we’ll shut down Google Buzz and the Buzz API, and focus instead on Google+,” Horowitz said in a blog post.
