Google announced its next set of product shutdowns as part of its “spring cleaning” initiative. Among the services that will be closing down include Google Video and iGoogle, which allowed users to create a custom version of the Google homepage. Content currently being hosted on Google Video will be migrated to YouTube later this summer, and users will have until August 13 to migrate, delete, or download their content. iGoogle will be shutting down on November 1, 2013.

Other product closures:

• “The Google Mini has been an important part of our Enterprise Search offering since it was first introduced in 2005. It’s had a good run, but beginning July 31 we’re discontinuing the product because its functionality can be better provided by products like Google Search Appliance, Google Site Search and Google Commerce Search. We will of course continue to provide technical support to Mini customers for the duration of their contracts, and will reach out to them shortly with more details.
• Google Talk Chatback allowed websites to embed a Google Talk widget so that they could engage with their visitors. It’s now outdated, so we’re turning off Chatback and encouraging websites to use the Meebo bar.
• We’ll soon be retiring our Symbian Search App to focus our efforts on our mobile web search experience. We encourage you to go to www.google.com and make it your homepage or bookmark it. Switching from the app to the web experience will enable users to make the most of the web-wide improvements we make for search all the time. “
