Big G to close 10 of its products

In an effort to focus more on its social network Google Plus -- as well as probably just wanting a bit of a clear out -- the big G is closing 10 of its products and sharing the spare resources among more lucrative areas.

The list of products to close includes,
Aardvark
Desktop
Fast Flip
Google Maps API for Flash
Google Pack

The new social-networking site is a high priority for Google, which saw a mind-blowing number of users signing up to the service even before it was publicly available.

This news comes not long after Google announced it would be shutting down its Labs service -- the area where people could try beta versions of new products and gave birth to many popular Google features such as Gmail, Google Earth and Street View.
