From what I know - and I'm far from expert - a number of the Needlebase capabilities effectively "compete" against Google's core products. I suspect they're incompatible, and I suspect Google has enough invested their core that there's no point in continuing to develop this. Much better to drive folks to Google's other tools.

Whilst I'd stop short of calling Google "evil", I would say that they're not exactly Snow White, either.
