yes, that is a good survery..lets see what happens with the results - RBotros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Now i'm counting the seconds till somebody comes and corrects my spelling mistake.
- RBotros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I've seen Google responding to many of his questions / bug reports and i think he has some connections there. I definitely think Google respects nobody more than Philipp :)
- gwayne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I 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.
- hiscity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How 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.
