Google’s goals and directions for 2006

Google Operating System points back to a Philipp Lenssen post from earlier this year, outlining Google’s goals and directions for 2006.

“If everything is on the right track, that means Google has already:

  • got rid of spam in the top 20 languages
  • improved their ad system (“one of their aims was to sell $1B of new inventory”)
  • pushed their content sites (maybe this is one of the reasons Google bought YouTube)
  • optimized page loading for the most visited sites (“any site with over 10 million page views (per day? month?) renders in a second or less, 95% of the time”)

Some new products and features that should be launched until the end of the year (or maybe next year):

  • a more interactive version of Google News that lets “other news sources, and organizations and individuals mentioned in news stories to debate specific points”.
  • extract information about time and place from web pages and show search results ordered by time or restricted by time / location.
  • enable visitors that have paid subscriptions to (news) websites to access them directly from Google search.”
