Most Significant Google Story All Year: Slow Down

Evidently, there's a move inside Google to slow down: stop releasing so much stuff, and go back to what you've got and make it better. That's a big deal: Google has always been about cranking tons of stuff out. In fact, I think they did that in lieu of having an actual business strategy. The idea being that something was bound to stick/come together.

Maybe they feel that they've got a big enough box of crayons and its time to start drawing something.

UPDATE: Fellow San Franciscan Chris Gaither of the LA Times points to his story, from a few weeks ago on the topic.
