Jeff said on December 23, 2006 9:24 AM PDT:
1. Ability to tag/label files in Google Desktop - let me do away with a hierarchical file system once and for all. (is this along the lines of what you mentioned about Google Desktop?)
2. Search history for Google Scholar.
3. A vi-like text editing interface in Docs & Spreadsheets. Keyboard shortcuts in Gmail and Reader already seem to be based on vi shortcuts, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to ask for something like this.
While I'm at it, allow me to say how much I have enjoyed reading your blog this year. I'm not sure when I discovered it, but it has been very informative, often even moreso than the official Google blogs. Have a happy holiday season, and please keep up the great work in the new year!
jeff said on December 23, 2006 9:29 AM PDT:
Sorry for the double post - I forgot these:
4. Ability to subscribe to password-protected feeds in Google Reader (actually the only thing preventing me from using it as my only feed reader - as it is, I use Opera to view such feeds and Reader for everything else).
5. Ability to search feeds in Google Reader. It's still strange to see a service from Google that doesn't offer a real search feature (I know you can search FOR feeds, but I can do that myself).
said on December 23, 2006 9:46 AM PDT:
1) Google References: A Google brand of Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Almanac, Atlas, etc. (Perhaps adding the almanac and atlas to Google maps and earth).
2) Greatly improve Orkut or purchase other social sites and collaborate them all. I want Google to have it's own "Community" in a way. *cough cough* purchase Myspace *cough cough*
3) Google to break into the Music scene in some way.
4) Google Talk to become a full-fledged IM client capable of collaborating with all the other IM Clients to keep all your friends in one place.
5) A Google Anti-virus/Spyware/Adware/etc. program integrated with Google Desktop.
6) At least a HINT of a browser and OS (though I'd hate to give up Firefox, it's been so good to me. Does Google want to purchase Firefox? Does it? Pretty Please :) )
7) More on Google Checkout (perhaps the creation of an Ebay-like site to promote Google Checkout? Or maybe just an addition to Orkut where people can buy and sell things from other Orkut members using Google Checkout.)
8) Many more additions to Google Documents. I want it to be favorable in every way. I want to be able to use it for anything that I'd want to use it for. I want to stop using MS Word or OpenOffice.
9) Much better integration of all the Google products into 1 uniform, easy to use and navigate product.
Yeah, that's all I can think of right now. Perhaps I'll come back with more later. That is what my Google Wishlist consists of.

2. Date constrained searches ... good idea - now that would be useful
3. Option for a single a/c to net adsense/adwords balances.
4. A google address book - not the current gmail offering.
5. A feature in picasa to just deal with red eye. Doing it manually is just one total pain.
6. A google phone with contacts and messages/mail accessed from both phone and pc.
7. Maybe google webhosting service.
8. Continuing improvements to webmaster centre

A decent Address Book and synchronization between the address book and the calendar with mobile devices and other e-mail/calendaring programs (not only outlook, but evolution, thunderbird, kontact, etc.).
Reminders for other calendars, not just the "primary" one.
Offer the choice of adding the person you're writing the mail to to the address book (now it's added automatically and it's really annoying).
To-Do lists (with synchronization) in the Calendar.
The ability to resize pictures in Picasa (if it's there, it's damn well hidden).
GDrive with combined space for everything, mail, notebook, calendar, picasa, docs, etc.
Search in Google Reader. Damn annoying and ironic too, given the fact that it's the _Google_ Reader.
Generally, more integration between the existing services.
Add encryption based on gpg to GMail and to Google Docs. I would really like to start using this service, but, somehow, I still have my doubts putting my personal data unencrypted on the net (I am keeping this data anyway encrypted on the disk, so for me it makes sense to have such a thing).
Add an offline mode to Docs and Spreadsheets.
OT: Thanks for the great blog. It's one of my favorites read and the first I click on in the Google Reader :-). A Happy New Year to everybody!

I don't know if anyone at google actually reads this site but if so there are a lot of good ideas for that famous 20% time in the comments above. Here are some of my thoughts.
All of the new Blogger features should be available to users posting via ftp. Namely the ability to use the wysiwyg template editor.
An improved GoogleCalendar widget for the Google Homepage. Something that actually shows enough to be useful.
Hierarchical task lists in GoogleCalendar.
Project management tools.
Google Reader subscriptions automatically go into the webclips in gmail.
The ability to set default formatting options for gmail messages (i.e. font, size, etc.).
Search within gmail attachments.

A repository of old datasheets / literature Many times we have old hardware or any other stuff which is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Hence the datasheets are no longer available with the manufacturer/website. Google can have a repository of such obsolete datasheets. This could be datasheets and specification for various chips/hardware boards etc. etc...

Shared tagsIt's a good ideia to provide
shared tags, so we cold use the same tags in gmail, google reader, docs & spreadsheets.
I have used google reader and gmail daily and I would like to use the same tags in these services it would make the web life easier than it already is.

How about the ability to open (in Docs & Spreadsheets) a Doc or Spreadsheet that is sent to you as an attachment to your gmail account. I don't have office on my comp, but would like to click on my attachments and open them in Docs&SS. The soluction now is to save on the comp, then open another browser window, load the file into Docs&SS ... lotsa clicks
said on January 4, 2007 4:59 AM PDT:
I also like the idea of a link between attachments and Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
I would like the ability to click on columns in gmail and have them sort (by Date, By Sender, By Subject).
In gmail, the ability to list more items on a page ... love gmail, not a fan of the (newer, newest, older, oldest) navigation.
said on January 4, 2007 3:18 PM PDT:
Google Spreadsheets continues to get better and better. However one feature that I would like to see is the availability of linking files (a.k.a.workbooks)within your folder.
Currently you cannot have one master file that, if linked, would have the ability to update the other files. The only linking available currently is between sheets of the same file. I had thought that perhaps by "publishing" the file and thereby getting the URL for the file I could place a link in the cells to the URL for the purpose of updating my other files, but alas this did not work either.
Also one other request would be to have the syncing ability such as what Edit Grid now has. This is a great feature for timed executions for updates to the files on your own computer with the ones located on their server.
Thanks for listening and keep up the great work.

-for bookmarks and gmail: allow users to easily choose more than one label (checkboxes?) to find messages/bookmarks.
-I've been wanting the Google Desktop idea (of labeling files on your computer) since I got gmail.
-Better integration with Firefox - better toolbars (the ones for Bookmarks don't exploit Google's difference between labeling and folders), notifications, etc
-I like the more "customized" news reader idea - customize it to a particular person's interests & area, and customize the look (or make it look better for everyone - it's horrible!)
-more integration between all Google products, or allow for it. ex: the person who wants gmail to look like google reader can put gmail in their google reader? the links people suggested between google docs and attachments? You have google-made gadgets for the desktop that should/could integrate with gmail, reader, etc. (To-Do list, Scratch Pad) and have the personalized home be able to show all of these and all other google products you use (in a better way than the stupid column format, more like www.livejournal.com's portal page) that you use.
said on January 5, 2007 8:37 AM PDT:
Nice and simple really:
1) To-do list, preferably in calendar, especially if the following can be accomplished;
2) Offline calendar which syncs with website version. Kinda like Mozilla Sunbird, but it would mean you wouldn't lose all your data if your computer dies suddenly (believe me, it's annoying!) as all the info would still be on the site!
Happy new year, and awesome work Google, big fan of your work! :-)

A very useful application for anyone who is a knowledge worker would be a journal that
would log the start and stop times of any application and especially the time a file is
open and active. It would help immensely building the record of activity for client billing.
Outlook has a feature like this but it only works with certain applications and has other limitations. Think of all the people that have to put together a billing record or who want
to know where their time REALLY goes when working at the computer.

How about a desktop wall paper that allows you to use your computer as four separate "multi-function displays," allowing you to watch let's say CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and ESPN on four separate "windows" built into your desktop wallpaper. Then other commands will allow you to bring up news articles or stock reports or even weather information on each of those screens. For those of you who fly planes with Multi-Function Displays, you can understand the functionality of those devices. Now of course, to watch four separate video clips at once will require a high-end system though.
said on January 23, 2007 10:26 PM PDT:
Okay this is continued from the above comment:
Now what would be even cooler is if we could use voice recognition systems on the computer to control those multi-function displays so we can use other programs like gmail and Google-Earth simultaneously, without the need to take our mouse-pointers away from our jobs. Now if Google Earth can also be integrated into Multi-Function Displays (MFDs), that will be very convenient. Then you can find vacation routes through traffic by simply saying the address of your desired destination into the voice recognition system and the Google-Earth on the MFD will automatically map out the route for you, adding a vehicle navigation system right onto your desktop wallpaper. E-mail me at jlu.skymasters@gmail.com if you have any comments.

Google is not improving the SEARCH_TOOL for years!
1. Allow logical expression with nested parathesis like (((fast OR speed) AND NOT light) OR something-else)
2. Allow REAL search within results. Make sure that adding a keyword to a previous search NEVER returns MORE results
3. Allow search by tags!!!! i.e. terms that may not appear on page but nonetheless are relevant. Example tag=software for searches or docs about MS_access. On page the term would be "access" and searches may return pages refering to other meanings of access
3a. allow screening results by suggested tags, optionally selecting several of the offered tags.
4. REALY index page by ACTUAL change, to allow search of recent pages. Use algorithm to reject faked-updates
5. Allow proximity NEAR and WITHIN5
6. Allow phonetic spelling soundslike:exallead and approximate spelling e.g. spellslike:fony >phony
7. Allow searching of filetype:htm* ONLY (htm, html)
8. maybe take into account the number of user clicks on google search results as part of the page-ranking
Exalead is blowing on your neck Google...

I would enjoy seeing Google do a lot more to support Linux. The summer of code did a lot for aspiring linux developers but I would prefer to see some on going support for what is probably the greatest operating system available.
More Web 2.0 from google would be nice (Yes, google, I know you own like 9000 web 2.0 companies, but frankly your name isn't anywhere on most of them...)
Google has a lot of room to get unique with web 2.0 offerings in 2007, and I'd like to see some services pop up to help me and everyone else out who enjoys social networking etc.
Colin said on January 25, 2007 11:17 PM PDT:
I'm thinking that most computers these days have screens that can display 1024x768 at least, and most browsers are capable to line wrapping. Why is there a forced line break in the search results? It's crazy that with a 1920x1200 resolution screen, I have to scroll to see 10 search results because the text is all jammed into the left side of the screen.

The Linux-based Google OS with Firefox as its default browser and GMail as its default mail client would be the perfect gift GOOG could give the world in 2007. We could consider it the "Vista-slayer" that we've all been waiting for, and in 2007 the timing would be so elegant. This home & home office & SMB GOOG OS should be configured to be idiot-proof for Windows users to feel comfortable with - as long as the user is running XP SP2, the GOOG OS would be on a disk provided by GOOG with clear written instructions on how to load it onto a XP disk partition and / or how to disk-boot it. This OS would be "stripped" and clean with "options" to install all other GOOG and related programs. Personally, I'd love to see OOe as one of the options because so many people are already using it and quite happy with it, as the de facto MSFT Office suite alternative. I know GOOG is working nicely on their own Office app's but they're not nearly ready with a complete suite; til that time, best not to reinvent the wheel and stick with OOe.

All the above and more! I would like Google to be so good that it becomes the site that everybody goes to.
Look at Yahoo. They have done so much that you can learn from them. Just try a little harder, and things will go your way and our way.
One important thing to note, is that Google should start paying more attention to style and design. It will be great if I can move things around with the online apps like I do on my desktop. Dragging my emails from one place to another?
1, google calendar and address book..which can be used off-line and sync with mobile =) I think the currently MS address book is neither intuitive nor user-friendly.
2, google online storage space, which can be shared with other collaborated users.
3, improved version of gtalk. at least close to the functionalities of msn. Personally, I don't like msn that much.
4, google office suite can be used off-line. =)

here's my list:
- i still prefer to have folders to put mail in and be able to make rules for incomiing mail
- integrated tasks, actually, there are just a few small things missing to make gmail a outlook/exchange killer and i really hope these features will added.
- custimizable gui for gmail, preferably with conf files so people can make themes and share them.
- be able to use more google services on my pda like docs and spreadsheets.
- and my last request is just keep up the good work :D

Central space for files - shared by picasa web and google apps for domains. This space should be upgradeable just like the current picasa web accounts allow. Easy integration of picasa web albums into google apps for domains, using a single account.
IMAP support for google apps for domains.
More IMAP.

Gdrive would be nice. But something simpler would be YouTube and/or Google Video to randomly and continuously play music videos. But only the ones I want. It would be like the olden days of MTV and VH1 when they actually played music videos. Google can also throw an ad in there too if they want. But again, only the good ads. By now I'm sure Google knows what I like and don't like.

2. Synchronization for Google calendar (w/ Outlook, Evolution, Thunderbird or Kontact or any others ;)

This could be made in to different ways:
- with a ready made layouts that the user could choose and improve with several other features, or not;
- the user could create yours. Compose and manipulate the objects in a grid (wysiwyg), background colors...

2. unified tag/label feature for Gmail/Picasa/GReader and so on. Also with a multiple tag filter engine.

1. Why not make Google Talk handle group chat? Shouldn't all IMs be group chat by default. Why not structure so that by default it is group chat with just 2 participants? I never have understood why IMs don't do this better. Would make enterprise chat solutions better for chat meetings on line. Instead of the plugin crap you have to install now. And encrypted for that matter.
2. Also better graphics on the sidebar, transparent gadgets so forth. Still way behind desktop sidebar on that.
3. Make searching gmail easier behind firewalls. Why do you have to have port 995 open for email but not chat?

its to bad google is partners with aol now, "gogle owes 5% of aol" but i guess its better than micorosoft getting interoperability with AIM than msn, but still, its yahoo and msn vs. oogle and AIM.....its like being up agasint 2 pros, and being stuck with the kid in the wheel chair.....AOL is just really bad....no one should use it.....AIm i guess is ok, but still
and i did read one comment about losing firefox, personaly since firefox and google are pretty much friends, Google might just use firefox as their default browser....or atleast they'll googlefy firefox and just use that.

In reference to garrido, using your own damain with blogger, you already can, see if your domain provider will provide you with url forawding. Or you can write a quick batch file as the index of your domain that will do an auto forward, and then you use a meta tag to mask your blogger addres.

So far I found an address book program called Open Contacts looking like Gmail's contact book, of course more powerful. The program also divides fields into groups, and you can dynamically create new groups and new fields. The program interacts well with outlook, thunderbird, windows telephony, skype and Google Map and Google Earth, though after all it is a windows desktop program.
If you are looking for something working offline as complementation to Gmail's contact book, this might be a good alternative.

But it isn't perfect.
I'd like to see 'hard filters' - anyone mentioning viagra NEVER gets in my inbox, my spambox, even my deleted. it just ceases to exist.
Anyone mailing to more than 200 gmailers without knowing their 'name' get diverted to a pending box, for white listing or spam labelling.
And 27 other ways to target known spammers.

Google Groups is a disaster; far from improving Usenet, it has allowed spammers an easy route to destroy the world!
GG as is should ban cross posting, and find ways to stop spammers.

Yes, we're talking software. Is that really so hard?

It seems obvious to me that anyone wanting news, wants the latest stuff first, not what Google's algorithm says is most 'relevant', even if it's two weeks ago, before today's events were thought of.
Google obviously disagrees - so would it hurt to let me set MY preference for 'latest first', so I don't have to search twice for news?
That's all for now ... keep up the Good Work

Animated time elapsed cloud/radar coverage. With all the awesome things Google comes out with, I am VERY surprised that this hasn't been released yet!
Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see this new Gphone that we've all been anxious to see!

Gphone that's not locked into one company (AT&T) and that let's user control their content adn add their own. Yes, it's like SybianOS but I think a GoogleOS would be better. By the way, Google OS would be nice to have. But please make a hybrid kernel which supports, Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. I can't stand Windows' vunerability (Vista Especially) so having Linux handle the file execution proccess would be great.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before now (199 comments are a lot to read!) but I'd love to see the standalone Google Chat program being launched for us Mac users! I've switched over from Windows to Mac recently and this is pretty much the only thing I miss!

I like the Google FAX idea. I think once Grand Central gets fully assimilated (no Borg here!), then adding some FAX functionality will be a "no-brainer". I don't need to FAX very often, but occasionally I either have to FAX or take a paper document somewhere as "proof" (such as for insurance changes). A good, reliable (and free!--for a small number of pages per year) FAX service would be nice.

I would love to see a photo-screensaver for linux. NOBODY has such a thing. Be the first on your block to build one!

Google Projects: a Google Project Management Tool integrated with Google Calendar! That would be a killer App! Like MS Project, but much better, of course! :-D

A common storage/quota for all Google services. That way, users could optimize their usage in the way of their choice, and it provides the ease of centralized management.

I think Google should provide a free high speed internet access. Because the internet world always relates to the speed. If Goodle have a good idea to share with us such as Google Earth, Google Office, Video Seach etc., then, the user definitly needs the speed. Besides, around this world, too many ISP company still think they can make money with lousy service and they think they can keep forever. We are tired of it. 3G is a good technology, but no one make money, Why? Because They sell speed, not content. In the age of Web 2.0, I think speed is free, content is money. They are the enemy in the internet world for a good content provider like Google. If Google can give us a free gmail space, why not a free high speed access!

Why is xp or vista the only operating system supported-- why not linux, bsd, ou solaris - since staroffice is a sun product?

I would like to see a free web based Google operating system integrating all of Google services.

1. SIP support for Google Talk.
2. Google Talk and Grandcentral integration.
3. A native way to star or tag messages from an external e-mail clients (ex. Thunderbird).
4. More support for other operating systems.
Keep up the good work. :)
