I don't see why you guys think it failed. Pretty much all the changes that it was going for shouldn't have caused any notable effects from the end-user's point of view.

Collecting billions of gigabytes of information that doesn't belong to them?

Collecting billions of gigabytes of information that doesn't belong to them?

and what have they used with it?

[DrenDran]

google has APIs and stuff that tons of other websites use. it'd break a ton of other stuff if they turn those off as well

This makes it even better.
They can twist the arm of other websites into complying.
Hell, if facebook and those other social media websites went down for a day I'd mark the day down as a holiday.

and what have they used with it?

They've collected all the perverts, loonies, freaks and weirdos, after spying on their Google searches and Web history, and have shovelled them all to the Blockland Forums.

I'm actually quite surprised Google is a part of this stuff seeing that one of the things they do is give away personal information to private companies.

I guess they just don't want the government taking their job.
