 Google drops sale property search feature


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Jan. 27, 2011 – In July 2009, Google announced that users would be able to find for-sale or for-rent property through Google maps. However, the company switched directions yesterday, announcing that it would discontinue the service effective Feb. 10, 2011.
Brian McClendon, vice president, Google Earth and Maps, explained the decision online, calling the introduction of real estate searches part of Google’s philosophy to “take risks and to experiment.” However, the site did not reach Google’s expectations.
