I took the survey, cool link, but do you know for a fact he is really the most influential blogger? Just curious, I dont know enough about that to argue either way.
How would I change google, let me count the ways:(most for searches)#1 - search by currency signs ($)#2 - filter out currency (-$) in a search string#3 - search result option to list each hit in a single line format like a spread sheet#4 - phonebook: searches by other fields like: street, route (or box), cell phone prefixes...#5 - google searches by email (also see #3)#6 - commercial content filter (filter out sites with adware) #7 - risky content filter (filters out sites with virus, hijacks, etc.)#8 - excessive word variety filter (to avoid dictionary, word list, etc. sites)#9 - filters from a check box set displayed on an optional search page, (multiple negates)#a - "time to load web page" estimate as part of search hit#b - megabyte size estimate of full web page (ex. .1M, .5M, 1M, 5M, >5M, >50M ,,,)#c - command line conversions: zip code, area code, time zone, telephone carrier ...#d - child safe web (very low risk trusted web pages only, as first level searches) #e - political content filter (and other filters by topic or genre ... religious, sexual, sports)#f - soundex matching (words sound like)#g - synonym matching (hit all terms with close meaning)#h - most popular websites filter (to hit on amateur or low volume page content)#i - most popular website matching (to hit on most frequently visited websites only)#j - meta search (returns hits from all google search sections by section: general, news froogle, scholar, groups, books, sets, etc. ....)And lastly, lots more aerials for google earth. Especially along the Texas/Mexico border zones.I really like google, but there's plenty of room for improvements.
