I managed to
predict Google-base, so lets see if I can predict more googly stuff...
1. Centralized bookmarks, currently you can bookmark (star) websites with google-reader and google personalized search. This will become one system. On top of that google will add a star to its toolbar:
Update (31-01-2006): Came true, see the
google toolbar beta :P
2. Blogger.com will use google accounts (easy one).
Update (07-03-2006): There already is this:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=bloggerUpdate 17-10-2006: Yes, spot on!
3. API for google-login system (like Microsoft Passport but a lot cheaper). Btw, you can already do this if you use the Jabber protocol (with http://cjphp.netflint.net/ for example).
Update 17-10-2006: Yes!
4. Search within Gmail attachments. View attachments as html was of course just step one.
5. More stars! Star videos, star contacts and stars everywhere (joy).
Update (13-6-2006): This is now posible through Search History.
Update 17-10-2006: Yes yes more coming
6. Online storage of Google Talk conversations (searchable from gmail)
Update (31-01-2006): Came true, see
this help page for more information.
7. More integration of GMail and Google Talk like Google Talk Web (webbased google talk client).
Update (31-01-2006): Came true, isn't activated for every account and doesn't work for https but it will be live shortly. See
this page for more information.
Update 17-10-2006: Is live for everyone, yes yes
8. Upload complete photo-albums to blogger.com with Picasa.
Update (16-4-2006): This is posible but they added a limit (not smart).
Update 17-10-2006: Upload to picasaweb also posible
9. Buy stuff in the google-shop with your addsense profit (nice for bloggers with only a small profit).
Update 17-10-2006: Looks a bit like google checkout...
10. Video integration in Google talk.
11. Play video's from video.google.com direct from a blog-post (blogger.com and video.google.com integration).
Update (31-1-2006): Came true, copy paste the html-code from any
google video.
12. Upload videos through Picasa (and create a corresponding blog-post).
Update 17-10-2006: Yes (no blog post yet)
13. Link to a time-frame on google.video.com
Update 17-10-2006: spot on
14. Import pop-mail into gmail.
15. Import old outlook (express) e-mail archives into gmail (like gexodus).
16. Integrate blogger with google talk (like spaces of msn), but this will not happen before the release of the enterprise version of google-talk.
17. Google-talk enterprise and gmail-enterprise, which includes an upgrade for the Google Search Appliance.
18. Skype-in/out functionality for google-talk (dark fiber anyone?).
19. WinFs-like features in Google Desktop (searchable meta information).
20. Calender.google.com will be a personal calendar, rss for future events so to speak. Tapping into your gmail contacts and integrating with gmail.
Update (16-4-2006): Spot on! :D
21. Jabber transport will be enabled for google-talk but invitations must be send trough gmail.
Update (31-1-2006): Came true, jabber transport is enabled and i am talking to my msn-buddy's trough google-talk.
22. Internet storage for your files (official version of the gmail drive).
Update (07-03-2006): There is already this:
