Google dreamin' - 4/16/2006 10:50:00 AM

Philipp wants to know the top three features you want from Google. Here's what I think would make Google unstoppable:
  1. Google Grid a la EPIC - store any information including blog posts or photos or video or spreadsheets or calendars; access control to keep each item private, share with selected individuals or groups, or share with the world - for free or for a fee; all content indexed, linkable, searchable; social recommendation engine to surface the good stuff and hide the junk; feeds to subscribe to editors you trust; transparent language translation; AdSense rev share to compensate editors and content authors.
  2. Privacy Control Panel - explicity opt-in or opt-out of the various data streams that Google captures about you; allow each user to decide the right balance between privacy and functionality for them.
  3. Device like TiVo or rumored "Google Cube" to play content in my living room.
The concept of the Google Grid is powerful and frightening at the same time. Without the Privacy Control Panel it would be a nonstarter - the resistance from interest groups, national governments and competitors sowing FUD would doom the project without the ability for individuals to decide for themselves what privacy tradeoffs they're willing to make.

Google Grid - Store and Publish

That's not too much to ask, is it?
