I want to turn off the “trends” spyware feature. I have no use for this data and I can’t think of any legitimate reason why anyone else should have it. This is a prime example of Google’s insensitivity to online privacy.

I wish you could increase the frequency of Google Reader polling sites. Sites like Steep and Cheap or ChainLove update too frequently and entries get missed.

I want someone (or something) to do a fantastic job of editing all of my previous day’s feeds and then, over night, have these printed out in a beautiful (paper-back?) book form so that in the morning I can just grab my lovely new book and happily enjoy flicking through it on my way to work/at work/on my way home/at home. At night time I can then either keep the book (where it will add to my increasingly well-insulated house) or have it efficiently recycled into my next day’s copy…

…and I want it NOW

Hi Matt, Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but if they can intergrate the READER with BOOKMARKS this would corner the market I believe. This is the biggest problem I have because I have over 2500 bookmarks and 1000 feed subscriptions.

I don;t know which ones I have duplicates for etc. If you could somehow check your bookmarks for duplicates and mark them with a tag or something. And also just to have them lined up on the same left bar sort of like notebook. Thanks

Definitely the feed suggestion tool. Although I know most of the best Web design/SEO feeds to read I’m always on the lookout for more small business / entrepreneur feeds as that is my niche.

It would be nice if I could read the results of your poll from within the Google reader instead of getting a rss feed subscribe page.

Rumble,

That’s a brilliant idea – it couldn’t be that difficult to aggregate the information and “authority” of a piece, to save readers time in sifting through various articles on the same topic.

And I completely support the idea of adding Google News – or making Google News more interactive/ commentable. (is that a word?)

It seems like all the mechanisms are in place to implement your list of ideas, Matt. Now, we’ll just have to wait and see if Google picks up on them and makes our lives a little easier. Great ideas.

I just played the Google Market Cap game (which wasn’t much of a game (http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=466&doc_id=138926&amp but it made me wonder how much longer Google will be able to keep up with it’s insanely prolific nature.

Because, it seems to me, everytime I’ve sort of thought – “hey, it’d be cool if Google did ___________” it would happen in a few months time. And I feel pretty strongly that some of your ideas will probably become realities in the near future. But I just can’t help but wonder how long one organization can sustain this growth (it’s been like %50 a year). Anyway. Dunno, maybe if the current employees get tired of innovation, they’ll pick up you Matt. We’ll see.

If different feeds report news pointing to the same url, I’d like to see this marked in some way…

I really miss offline feed reading.
Otherwise Google Reader is a great tool!
