Same here. I feel like a lot of Google's products aren't well advertised, and canceled without warning. They also tend to be better than most alternatives.
For a while google displayed real estate for sale on google maps. I can't quite put my finger on exactly why (maybe that it was google maps), but it was much more useful than the standard real-estate sites. Was sad to see it go.
This has been my go-to page for movie information for the longest time. Yet again, Google is training us not to trust that any of their services will be available -- this one seemed to be shutdown without any notice whatsoever.
I know it's a free service, and that Google is under no obligation to me. For these reasons, I've never taken them up on their "free" storage, G+, or any other up and coming services.
This was a very useful service, and I'll miss it a lot.

Note the logically arranged sidebar, the simple HTML, and the links to IMDb and Youtube instead of images or embedded videos.
Contrast this with Fandango, IMDb, and Yahoo Movies:
http://www.fandango.com/
http://www.imdb.com/showtimes/
https://www.yahoo.com/movies/showtimes/
Does anyone know of a movies showtimes site with a decent signal-to-noise ratio?
