Google Ideas looks like a forum to submit new product ideas. Others can then rate the product (from “Great idea! Make it so” to “Dangerous or harmful if implemented”) or discuss it, and there’s also a “buzz” factor to evaluate the usefulness of a suggestion. Ideas shown in the screenshot are all from 2006 – like “google talk IM babel fish”, or “UPC database and applications” – and have at least partly already been released.
Elsewhere, the presentation noted that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has a resource allocation rule separating products into Search, Ads, Apps (like search quality, AdWords, Google Apps), Strong potential (like Blogger or Google News) and Wild and Crazy (like Google Transit, or Google offline ads).
