Google Retires 13-Year-Old ?Google Friends? Newsletter

'Google Friends' a charming thirteen year old newsletter that a few old-time techies still subscribe too has decided to shut down today, citing flat subscription numbers and the prominence of Twitter and the official Google blog as impetus for its retirement. Started by co-founder and current CEO Larry Page on April 29, 1998, the newsletter started while Google was on the Stanford servers and provided fans with incremental Google updates like " I created a new logo using Gimp (of course)." Seriously, run through the archives, its awesome.
