Which product at Google took six months or less to develop from scratch?

This is not to say that a six month development cycle is impossible. There just has to be an understanding that there will be a trade-off in quality. Maybe Mayer is in the "get something out there fast, and reiterate based on feedback" boat (which would make me respect her more) but going from 0 to 100 in six months is impossible with the scale of projects Yahoo! works on.
