Google Is Shuting Down DodgeBall and Possibly Jaiku Too

Google Code Blog announced they are shutting down DodgeBall in next few months and Jaiku is going to be supported via open source. I wonder why they always shut down services always at the beginning of the year?

Two things you should read via GCB:

While Google will no longer actively develop the Jaiku codebase, the service itself will live on thanks to a dedicated and passionate volunteer team of Googlers.

Some of you may also be familiar with Dodgeball.com, a mobile social networking service that lets you share your location with friends via text message. We have decided to discontinue Dodgeball.com in the next couple of months, after which this service will no longer be available. We will communicate the exact time-frame shortly.

Update:

Jason Kincaid Reports about more services that are at danger
