No word on what SketchUp will be doing with its $495 Pro version, if anything. SketchUp said that, in spite of joining Trimble, it will continue to offer the free version of its platform, whose importance to its operations вЂњisnвЂ™t changing in the least.вЂќ Google helped SketchUpвЂ™s technology reach a wide audience of woodworkers, filmmakers, game developers, and engineers - with over 30 million activations - but now itвЂ™s TrimbleвЂ™s turn at the wheel. In SketchUpвЂ™s words, вЂњwith TrimbleвЂ™s commitment to invest in our growth, weвЂ™ll be able to innovate and develop new features better than ever before.вЂќ And while thatвЂ™s likely the case, this does seem an intimation that Google wasnвЂ™t either willing to or capable of getting the product into the field, or into the hands of that niche, specialized user. In its post today announcing the acquisition, SketchUp said that Trimble will give its platform a greater opportunity to be integrated into equipment thatвЂ™s used in the field, and potentially into the hands of those who will really know what to do with it. Trimble, on the other hand, builds location and positioning technology used in surveying, mapping, construction, agriculture, and marine navigation equipment.

Yet, itвЂ™s hard not to see Trimble as a great fit for SketchUp, considering that Google has its hands full with everything from ads to social networks. Since then, SketchUp has lived at Google, undergoing a number of upgrades, and growing exponentially thanks to GoogleвЂ™s sizable reach. And today, Google announced that the SketchUp team and technology will be leaving the Google campus to join Trimble Navigation, for an undisclosed sum. The product, called SketchUp has become one of the most popular 3-D modeling tools in the world, with over 30 million activations of the program in 2011. But this morning Google pulled a relatively unusual move, announcing not a closure, or a purchase, but a sale(!).

Google is prolific when it comes to its in-house production, churning out new ideas and products all the time, and the company isnвЂ™t afraid to pull the plug if the idea doesnвЂ™t pan out.

CEO Larry Page said in his вЂњUpdate From The CEOвЂќ earlier this year that Google has shuttered or combined 30 products since April 2011. Last week, Google again proved seasonally reliable, as Frederic reported on its shuttering of Google Patent Search Homepage, One Pass, Google Related, and a number of other features and products. At this time of year, we usually find ourselves reporting on Google breaking out the brooms for a little spring cleaning.
