In memoriam: 13 tech products we lost in 2016

In March, Google (GOOGL) pulled the plug on its photo-sharing and storing service Picasa.

Google Photos debuted last year with a splashy launch, and running two similar services didn't make sense. Plus, Google Photos is a far superior product.

Picasa attracted a loyal fan base over the years, allowing users to edit and organize digital photos long before the introduction of smartphone cameras.

Users weren't happy about the service's demise, but Google made the transition as easy as possible; existing photos and albums are still accessible after logging into Google Photos.
