Google closes the doors on Google Answers

Actually this is a great sign that Google is starting to think about their bottom line. Why offer a charity service like Google Answers when you can focus on revenue? Could this be a sign of changes to come? They stopped investing in unknown highly risky new businesses just a few months back, now we are seeing actual services being shut down.

I am not saying that I do not like free services that Google has offered for years, however if they expect to maintain that ridicules stock price they need to start innovating towards profit and less towards the “that’s cool this month”.
