Get Google to Notice Your Ideas

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook

At least for Google Mobile

Google is calling for your ideas for new product features for Google Mobile. They recently set up a Product Ideas page built on Google Moderator that allows users to submit ideas and vote others up and down.

"From this we'll be able to see more clearly what's important to you and we'll take it into consideration as we move forward with developing our products," says a post from the Product Ideas Team. "The Product Ideas team will pop in from time to time to see what you have to say, and we'll be offering periodic updates on what we see and what ideas make it into your favorite products in our Product Ideas blog."

Google Mobile Product Ideas Page

Some of the top ideas at the time of this writing include:

- Cache map data for Google Maps for a small area around a person's current location

- Manage Google Calendar on Google Mobile

- A "Google Product Ideas" page for all Google services, and

- An application that speaks the driving directions in Google maps

Google acknowledges that they pay attention to ideas left in comments on their blog posts and in forums, but the product ideas page should nevertheless provide a good way for them to see which ones are really in demand, and could potentially better serve to get them to come to fruition.

I love how innovative Google is... They are always pursuing new ideas, and exploring new e-territory... Perhaps best of all though is that they invite all of us to contribute our own thinking and ideas to take our online adventures further. Great stuff Google... Thanks - Martin :)

I hope google copes up with its new venture this time .I think instead of coming up with new ideas , google should improve on its exisiting ones.

Sharing Ideas

I'm not sure I'd like to go giving my ideas to Google for free and I'd be surprised if many people did. Having said that perhaps they'll receive some good feedback on ideas and perhaps receive suggestions on how to improve existing Google products.

Free

So we give Google all our great ideas for free and they get to make money on them. Doesn't Google have a think tank they pay lots of money to do the same thing?

My idea: Change the name to
