With Google's latest project called Lively being released this week, we thought we'd take a look at some of the services that they should introduce. Google seems to want to cover every topic out there, and we're sure eventually they will.
- Music - why music you ask? It just sounds like something Google would get into. And besides, there's already been traces of Google working on a music service in China!
- Travel - if they introduced some type of travel site, they'd be able to incorporate Google Maps and all that it offers. If users were to search for vacation information on a certain city, Google could direct them to use Google Street View to get a better idea of what the place looked like.
- Automotive - we wrote about a site called RepairPal a few weeks ago as a place where you could get honest auto repair information. It's a great site, but they don't have information on some of the auto repair shops out there. Google might be able to better tackle the job of providing honest auto repair information.
- Social Search - there are hundreds of search engines out there and it might be nice if Google offered a Social Search. Users could enter in all of their social network credentials and then be able to search them all right from Google. Maybe something like FriendFeed.
- Food - a centralized place to search for recipes around the web would be great for those that are into cooking. They could also offer their own rating system for these recipes like what they already offer for restaurants.
Any services you'd like Google to introduce?
I wish that I could read all my Gmails mails into my RSS reader , just like a post from blogs . Though , Gmail supports Atom format to send you an alert for new incoming mails …but the body of massage is not send !
Hope that , it will be included !
I wish Google would put more effort into “Groups” before launching any new services.
I started a Google Group a couple years ago, and I’m starting to wish I went with Yahoo instead.
Before any other new services: MAKE A REAL UPDATE TO GOOGLE TALK!
the labs edition sucks, i want to keep services not lose services.
Ashley-
Thanks for your positive comments regarding our site, RepairPal. We’re striving to answer all your auto repair related questions and have been challenged to capture all of the 200K+ auto repair shops in the US. We’re actively looking at an alternative data sources to correct the problems and should have a better solution shortly. Stay tuned and keep up the good work!

Me.dium just released a social search engine that is doing some things that will make searching the internet that much better. Instead of getting results that corporations want you to see it gives you results that are most relevant.
Me.dium’s Social Search, which leverages the Yahoo! Search BOSS platform, provides an entirely new level of information on top of traditional search. Me.dium’s Social Search harnesses the activity of the crowds to let you find information that has relevance based on what people are actually surfing right now.
Me.dium’s technology lets the inherent activity of real people – not robotic crawlers – determine relevance. Me.dium’s Social Search results show what people are surfing and find interesting, right now. While other search engines base relevance on how content links across pages, Me.dium’s Social Search shows you the most popular news, reviews, pictures and videos that other people are actually looking at in relation to your search term. And as the activity of the people online changes, so do the search results.
If you have any questions, comments, of feedback on Me.dium please send me an email at cmaller@me.dium.com.
I’ll agree with you here Matt! We’ve said it before, but it seems like they are forgetting about Google Talk.
Thanks for stopping by David!
