n 2004, Max Levchin founded Slide,[11] a personal media-sharing service for social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook. Slide was sold to Google in August 2010 for $182 million[12] and, on August 25, Levchin joined the company as vice president of engineering.[13] On August 26, 2011, Google announced it was shutting down Slide, and that Levchin was leaving the company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Levchin#Slide
one of Google's many instant messaging apps
A decade and a half of instability: The history of Google instant messaging apps. Google Talk, Google's first-ever instant messaging platform, launched on August 24, 2005. This company has been in the messaging business for 16 years, meaning Google has been making messaging clients for longer than some of its rivals have existed. But thanks to a decade and a half of nearly constant strategy changes, competing product launches, and internal sabotage, you can't say Google has a dominant or even stable instant messaging platform today.

Data Desk is a software program for visual data analysis, visual data exploration, and statistics. It carries out Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and standard statistical analyses by means of dynamically linked graphic data displays that update any change simultaneously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Desk
In Statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analysing data sets to summarize their main characteristics in easy-to-understand form, often with visual graphs, without using a statistical model or having formulated a hypothesis. Exploratory data analysis was promoted by John Tukey to encourage statisticians visually to examine their data sets, to formulate hypotheses that could be tested on new data-sets. Tukey's championing of EDA encouraged the development of statistical computing packages, especially S at BellLabs: The S programming language inspired the systems 'S'-PLUS and R. This family of statistical-computing environments featured vastly improved dynamic visualization capabilities, which allowed statisticians to identify outliers and patterns in data that merited further study. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_data_analysis (more)
R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is supported by the R Core Team and the R Foundation for Statistical Computing.[7] It is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. Polls, data mining surveys, and studies of scholarly literature databases show that R is highly popular;[8] since August 2021, R ranks 14th in the TIOBE index, a measure of programming language popularity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, or nonsense (garbage) input data produces nonsense output. Rubbish in, rubbish out (RIRO) is an alternate wording.[1][2][3] The principle also applies more generally to all analysis and logic, in that arguments are unsound if their premises are flawed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out cf Systemantics, Semantic Web, Oracle, social science, claim refactoring service (more)
