Photos?

I may be missing out on something. Is Photos a big thing, and if so, how?

Big thing for me and family+friends. I take photos of family events, and share albums/links once I upload.

My wife and I share photos of our kids, faces are tagged so new photos automatically go there.

You could say that OneDrive has similar features, however more people have Google accounts through Android devices, so Google is the easier option.

yes - photos is huge. Remember that it's the default photo storage/sharing app for 1B+ Android users.

All acquisitions. Golang is not a product.

It is funny how the goalposts moved.

> The last product google ever built and launched successfully.

Now becomes "it doesn't count if it was an acquisition". Youtube would probably be dead if any other company purchased it. Google ate losses for years with it. Golang is a developer product. Chrome was not an acquisition. Maybe you are splitting hairs and saying it is an "acquisition" if they forked an open source project.
