I went on to the Google one and voted "Change the Label system to Folders". You guys are all screwed! Hahahahaha! :-)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 22, 2007 at 6:55 AM
I meant "the Gmail one" above. They're all Google. Kind of takes away from my joke.
ReplyDelete Actually Labels are a superset of Folders in a number of respects (Guess what: folders are a figment of your imagination).
All they would have to do is allow drag and drop of messages into that list of Label names as a quick one-step way to both assign labels and archive a message at the same time and all the Folders addicts would be totally fooled. I put in this suggestion months ago. It's so obvious I can't think why they haven't done it...except for the fact that I think drag and drop functionality causes more browser compatibility issues.
With the exception of backups you should NEVER want to have more than one copy of important files in your filing system. Hopefully more users will start to "get" this. It's an education issue. (But I grant that Google is doing too little on the education front).- AnonymousApril 22, 2007 at 10:32 AM
My suggestion is for Google Earth. I want to write with rich text for placemarks.

Another suggestion for Google in General, a memory space online that we manage with folders. This will be very useful for different s Google applications. For example to put a photo or video in Google Maps, or to use in Page Creator etc..

Ok. Deep breath before everyone shouts at me for giving in to 'big brother' and giving my soul away to google - but I think it would actually be quite handy if Google launched a "Google Cookie Jar" - so that just like bookmarks I could have Cookies that I wanted/agreed to having, go to one central location that could be accessed from different PCs I use.
ReplyDelete Interesting to see "IMAP Access" listed as a suggestion for Gmail. I thought that was more or less impossible with the label-based system. I would be very, very happy if that could happen. As amazing as Gmail's web interface is, I'd like to sync my mail client with Gmail for offline access to my entire Gmail archive.
And as long as it's been since any meaningful enhancement to Calendar, at least some of these glaring omissions are on their radar (lack of notification options on secondary calendars, for one).- AnonymousApril 24, 2007 at 3:37 PM
instead of the cookie jar you could try google browser sync and sync cookies
ReplyDelete I have a suggestion for Google. I think Google should give each primary candidate 10 minutes on youtube to present their case as to why they should be elected and advertise this at their front page search. This would be wonderful PR for Google as a "non evil company" and would be highly democratic.
ReplyDeleteI think Google should consider streamlining the "flagged" content across all of their apps. Then, theoretically, if you run a search in Gmail, it would pull up results in all of the areas of the google servers you're connected to.
Often I have work documents in Google wordprocessing that would be much simpler if I was able to run a search all the way across my google groups, gmail, and docs.- AnonymousJuly 23, 2007 at 7:07 AM
Recently I have found Google maps has been less and less useful.
When you use the print link, you lose the overall map. When you print the main map page, the highlighted route doesn't print.
It always bothered me that you can't right-click the image and copy it to an Outlook Contact note field. I guess that's a drawback of the AJAX interface.
The new nodes where you can re-route are extremely helpful, though. google is the one of the top brand now in the world. but i'm really confused abt there marketing strategy. i didnt find any idea about there marketing strategy. but i think to retain there brand equity they should go for new marketing strategy with different tools. like they should create slogan, promotion, some atl activities. actually its just a suggession from a very small marketing person :). actually i love google.

Would it be possible to get pronunciations when searching a definition (define:xxx).

I like how Google maps now lets you customize your route when you get directions, but why can't you save them to My Maps after you customize them?
ReplyDelete I write to correct a information in "Goggle Earth" software about the frontier between Chile and Argentina. The town is "Villa O´Higgins", name dedicated to the hero of country of Chile, then belong to Chile not Argentina. This town is located in 48" 28'03.59" S 72"33'35.98" W. I would be very thanksfully if you corrected this mistake.
With kind regards,
milodon, chilean.My suggestion is for Google Reader. I couldn't find where to make the suggestion within Google Reader itself, so I'm posting it here.
My suggestion is to provide a setting to remove duplicate items across feeds, such that an item only shows up in one of the feeds.
This would be useful for feeds such as the java.net feeds. For example, I want to be able to put podcast notifications in one Google Reader feed, and articles in another (I have separate folders for podcasts and feeds). However, the java.net article feed includes the podcasts as well, so I end up getting the podcast feed twice.
I would like to be able to set a preference to remove duplicate items.
The URLs for the feeds mentioned are:

personally, I think that google should come out with something to rival Microsoft Live's "Skydrive". It's really useful, and if done the google way would be as helpful as Google Docs and Calendar.
Maybe a bit more storage though...500mb is nothing - AnonymousSeptember 18, 2007 at 7:42 PM
I actually have a suggestion for a new program. It would be awesome if they would come up with a program or if it is too big a task multiple ones for different languages so that when you visit a site in another language like japanese (for example Amazon japan) that it translates it for your computer so that you can read it. And translate emails and stuff so that you can talk to others and bridge the language gap. That would be really cool.

Google maps is a great source when travel planning. How about having an option for obtaining directions for "walking routes" IE: I wanted to know the distance from a particular hotel to the Sydney Waterfront. It would only give driving directions that went well out of the way because of 1-way streets. Walking routes in cities would be great!!!
firstname.lastname@example.com I think Google should develop their own DNS system, or purchase one like OpenDNS.
This service would allow them to provide a superior DNS service for their customers world-wide, with advanced facilities like OpenDNS - such as adult content filtering, keywords, spelling correction, and so on.
The benefit to Google would be that they could add this nslookup information to the information they track about us (I know... big brother and all that), enabling them to better target ads, etc.Hi to all Dear Googleians,
First of all thanx for the outstanding services you were providing us.Well iam us ing your different stuffs out of which || Bhagavad Gita || I use to read daily.....Now the point is when I choose Hindi font...The mighty

Google finance suggestion:
on selection of a stock symbol the display should be able to show the min / max for the duration selected instead of the 52wk high / low values. - AnonymousNovember 30, 2007 at 7:54 AM
Can Google Maps take account of historical traffic reports when giving directions? E.g. "how long does it take to drive from X to Y _at 5pm on a Saturday_?" Can it choose the best route based not just on the endpoints but on the day-of-week/time-of-day, based on historical traffic data?
ReplyDelete A suggestion for a project for google scholar:
1) create a format for journal articles where all references (embedded and citations at the end) are html links to the articles being referenced and in which you can embed things like graphs and tables in the same way (perhaps even allowing you to hover over or right click on a link to have it pop up within the current window in a sub window.)
2) convert all old journal articles into the new format and archive them
3) partner with current journals so that it is possible to click on a link to a reference inside a journal in the new format and be able to purchase the referenced journal immediately and easily. And preferably cheaper than the $40 most journals currently charge.
4) enjoy researching rather than dread it.- AnonymousDecember 23, 2007 at 9:58 AM
I am moving to a sub in Rochester Michigan that has been built up for 2 years. Google Earth Map shows the area as it was in early development. Who long will it be before the program is updated to reflect the present?
Wes Davis ( firstname.lastname@example.com) I've a suggestion for Google translate tool. Currently when you navigate to the translate tool for the first time, in the dropdown list of language pairs, the last pair is selected by default i.e. Spanish to English. My suggestion would be to make it more logical by getting the country of origin from IP of the user and language pair should be that country to English. E.g. if a guy is in France, the default choice for language pair should be French to English.
Also there should be facility to configure this pair by default. Currently Google doesn't offer this kind of facility.

RE: Google Maps for BlackBerry
Having a NORTH UP or a TRACK UP option would be very nice to have.
Add the ability to See Longitude/Latitude readouts for current location
Add ability to see how Google Maps for BlackBerry triangulates your position (IE: What cell towers it sees, or the raw data from the GPS Satellites)..
I am a programmer and would like to see this "Technical Stuff", or at least have the ability to see it.
Russ If Google really wanted to "blow away" its completion (if any is left) it could take on the giants like Westlaw and Lexis to offer searches on statute and case law, now neatly wrapped up and unavailable to the general public and even to many lawyers. Even if the questionable ownership of legal court cases reports can't be broken by some really good lawyers, certainly Westlaw could be purchased.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea to add tool for muslims to identify the direction to Mecca from any place in the world throu choosing a special place holder and then google earth draw a line show the direction to Mecca.
the place holder for Mecca is
altitude : 21°25'21.09"N
longitude : 39°49'34.33"E
this will be ultimate useful for all muslims around the world bleave meI was just blown away, BLOWN AWAY by the genius of the new 'street view' feature on google maps. AWESOME. Plus, it's so elegant and brilliantly functional. It makes my mind race with what could possible come next. You can spend hours sightseeing, costs you nothing for gas, don't get tired.
You can look up, to the side, my god, the people who designed this and put it all together are geniuses.
I wonder if they could possible make a USB device, that's like goggles, with two screens over each eye, with nintendo like motion sensors, so the screen rotates as it senses your head moving, the way the nintendo controllers do, so it's like you're actually, REALLY there, in stereo vision even, man that would be a hell of a technical feat, but maybe not so impossible, i know stereophotography has been around for a long time, I used those little glasses to read stereomaps and it looked pretty realisticly 3-D even with those simple little glasses and stereomaps, which are nothing but two pictures laid over one another.
But StreetView is AWESOME google, congratulations. Google is some sort of creation of the angels.PROBLEM: When I am searching for images in google I have to scroll to the bottom and click next or one of the numbers (or an "O" in GOOOOGLE) to see the next page of pictures.
SOLUTION: Place all that stuff at the top of the page, so I can click without scrolling down to the bottom. Microsoft never quite got the concept to limit mouse movements. Each new selection should be available in a tight circle within the immediate screen real estate, not at the extreme end.
REASONING: I can see all the images on my screen already, so I don't need to scroll to the bottom to determine if the image I want is within the page I'm viewing. Some images load bigger and some smaller so the clicky space at the bottom is constantly changing lower or higher. By placing the selection numbers at the top you don't need to repeat the selection box at both top and bottom of the screen and the selection area don't move I can just click on next all day long without moving my mouse.my suggestion is about google maps, if there could be a option where you can check the distance between any two palces and also see the same route highlighted in the google map, with all the important places (like temples, gas stations, rest rooms, hospitals) on the route being highlighted too.
ReplyDeleteHi Google team,
This is madhu raparthi i got some bugs in the gmail.
Follow the below steps to reproduce the bug.
sStep1:gmail-->compose: fill all mandartory fields and in the maessage body drage and drop any jpeg image the total gmail become like that image and it looks like the jpeg image only.
Step2: gmail-->in box->select any mail and click on reply and in the maessage body drage and drop any jpeg image the total gmail become like that image.
step3:gmail-->in box->select any mail and click on forward and in the maessage body drage and drop any jpeg image the total gmail become like that image.
NOTE: This is happening only in the IE browsers onlyHI, My name is Sergio, I'm form New York city.
well, Yesterday I was navigating through GOOGLE EARTH and then I had an Idea. How about this.
So, who ever is online at the google earth could communicate with each other on chat or something like it, so while you navigating through, let's say, Germany, you could also see who's online and could interact with those folks over there.
Also would be cool to have more videos from different cities, which would allow you to see it as you go through...- AnonymousMarch 16, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Yes, supply users with gLinux for those not to happy with Vista. Put gtalk, gmail, Google earth, the 9 yards. Include OpenOffice, a Java VM and even options to support developers such as the gcc/gtk+ and of course Google APIs you might like to include. FireFox 3 of course. Support Evolution with PGP...for the enlightened.
gLinux being Google Linux of course. Maybe even put Earth in as the screen saver!
Ambitious I know. But if anyone can kick Microsoft Google can!!!
Hell, I want to buy it already.
No patents pending. Hi Google team,
This is madhu, im using gmail and i found some bugs in gmail .
Please follow the below steps to reproduce the bugs.
Step1:login to the Gmail and click on compose Mail link
Step2:in the "TO " field enter invalid mail id Example"asdfasd@fd" and click on "Save now" Button.
Than it will shows an alert message saying"Please make sure that email addresses contain no spaces and exactly one "@" sign." this is invalid alert for that input because i havnt entered any space and it contains one"@"
So this alert message should be updated.Hi Google Team,
This is madhu raparthi i found one bug in the Gmail this is belongs to purely functional.
Please follow below steps to reproduce the bug.
Step1:login to the gmail account and click on compose mail link.
Step2:and click on "Attach a file" link it will give option for browse and upload one file .
but without browsing and uploading any file click on"Attach another file" link it will give one more Browse field .
How many times You click on this "Attach another file link that many times the Browse field is getting added.
This should not happen Until Browse one file it should not allow user to attach another file .
Note : This is happening only in Mozilla browser.Does anyone know whether Google has plans to offer a legal search engine to compete with Lexis and Westlaw? These two search engines dominate the legal community in the US, charge outrageous fees, provide sluggish performance, and have counterintuitive and inefficient search procedures. Since Google is so good at making better mousetraps, I really wish they'd take a stab at making a better legal search engine. Even if it did not have all the bells and whistles of Lexis or Westlaw, it would be great to have a free search for basic inquiries.

The feedback and suggestions wasn't inside google links or at least i couldn't find them.
They are not here
or here
but i know they are somewhere. Why can't we have a google audio search function? Sometimes you're searching for a particular audio clip which you know is out there and you can't find it because it's hidden in all the other stuff.
It's actually non-copyright stuff that is the most frustrating... because you know it's entitled to be up there... and someone has put it up there... but it's not coming up in a search.
If you search enough sub-pages you might eventually find it.
Breaking it down into various types of audio might also be useful: .wav, mp3, etc...

ReplyDeleteGoogle Maps should have a setting where people can look up a starting zip code and an ending zip code, and a time, to find custom maps people suggest for cutting traffic. A lot of people have well tailored ways for cutting their drive time; combinations of freeway, surface streets and back roads. Why not suggest your favorite ways to-and-fro during busy hours?

It would be great if you incorporated ridesharing (like craigslist-rideshare) into Google Maps. Perhaps when someone looks up driving directions there can be an option to "Request a ride" or "Offer a ride". The combination of internet+high gas prices could mean that spontaneous ridesharing really takes off in the next decade.

Can't find anywhere else to put this so: how about a 'random page' button from the search front screen - just plucks a page from anywhere in the internet and dumps you there. (Possibly filtered by language and no-porn, etc)
ReplyDelete I like the "My Maps" feature in Google maps, and the ability modify a route by dragging the route. It would be great to be able to get directions and also show the locations in a "my maps". Here is one use.
Vacation planning:
1) Create a personal map of places to see
2) Start at home
3) Then add the furthest destination
4) Drag to the road to points on my maps
5) change the final destination to home- AnonymousMay 17, 2008 at 2:57 PM
I would like to be able to search for any pages containing certain equations or mathematical symbols embedded inside html or pdf or ps files.
Currently the only sort of formulas search engines can find are basic ones like:
"y = ax + b"
But what if an equation of post-secondary school level was being sought such as Schroedinger's equation?
I think it would be useful to be able to specify to search engines equations being sought, using possibly tex notation, or something else. hey google team, I think it would be a good idea to have a program called 'Google money veins of the world' kinda like google maps but one that shows where the money is in the world , try it out and see if it sticks like all the other stuff you guys do. It would be interesting to see where the wealth is in the world- a visual representation- and where it is concentrated. it would allow university students to study better the world and come up with new ideas for solutions.
ReplyDeleteIn Google Maps, when you zoom in to an area that does not have a good resolution it stops displaying the images at the previous resolution. I realize you can't improve the resolution, but it would be better to blow up the existing imagery to the new zoom level than to remove it completely.

How about Googleverse - A mud/mmo for the rest of us. God knows you've got the intensive server part down. This would probably be the first Google service I would be willing to directly pay for.
ReplyDelete On GoogleMaps, what if as an addition to the Map, satellite, terrain tabs you could have one for subway lines?
For example, I don't know the subway system too well in NYC but I'm trying to find apartments off of a certain line. Given an address I still have no idea how close it is to that line off of googlemaps and have to go off-site to find its proximity. Could there be an abstraction or a referral to the subway map so you could compare on the same page?
Or maybe an overlay instead, highlighting the lines on the existing map so you can tell how each metro station connects.Dear Google management,
Today every man from a school boy to old man is facing a lot of personal problems, they can not ask their friends or relatives for suggestions due to fear or shyness or prestage. If you start a new web service that gives solutions to every problem/difficulty/trouble/sorrow from a list of professionals consisting of doctors,lawyers,teachers,Phcologists,buisiness man,students,youth,police..etc..or public then that would be very nice to solve their problems. i.e, what i mean to say is ,
1.Start a service with a group of professionals to give the better solution depending on the sevirity of the problems.
2.Low sevirity problems can be resolved by any people.
i.e ,We can not find a possible solution for our own problems due to out narrow mindset,narrow thinking about our own problem, but other people can easily analyze our problem and can give a possible good solution due to their broad mind about others problem.
So try to start a new web service " ASKGURU.com " for finding solutions for every body .so it will be a great guru,teacher for all the people to get solutions to their problems.
But the website should be on free service, so it can be get a GREAT DEMAND from PUBLIC of all ages.
Thanks and Regards

HEY GOOGLE: ADD DOPPLER RADAR TO YOUR SEARCH!! IMAGINE TYPING "DOPPLER RADAAR [ZIP CODE]" and then SEEING a RADAR POP UP! EFFIN AWESOME
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJune 19, 2008 at 9:25 AM
For Google Maps, add information overlays. Such as national cancer statistics, voting patterns, median income, crime rates, etc. It would be a great tie-in with your Street View info. We are a visual species and take in information much better when presented this way.
The idea Matt has of live doppler radar is great! Perhaps you could open up the api to allow others to produce the overlays. Such as radio station/program coverage. Other things like archaeological sites too; whatever.

I think a great feature for the google search page should highlight the keywords you've entered after clicking a link returned from the search.

Google maps has multiple view options: map, satellite, traffic, terrain (topo), photos, wikipedia, but how about adding realtime weather like the interactive map at www.weather.com? If would be helpful to see what weather is forecasted, or just the red color of heavy storms, laid over the driving route.

July 1st, 2008 - Canada Day. I was disappointed that you did not have one of your creative designs to honour this day on your Google Canada home page. You had designs for Earth Day and just about every other special day that comes along. Something to consider for 2009. Cheers...a Canadian
ReplyDelete A fantastic addition to Google apps and news feeds would be an up to the minute schedule and report of the legislative actions of our public officials.
I would like to know who voted for what and when rather than having to navigate through house.gov or senate.gov
it would revolutionize our ability to know what our elected officials really stand for.
Elected Officials could even have strictly fact based profiles, etc.

My suggestion is for google reader.
Why not include functionality to jump to specific days in a feed OR, better yet, allow for an option which hides the already read posts.
Sometimes I go a month or two before catching up with a particular blog. And sometimes, especially in the case of the NYT front page, this cannot be done in one sitting... and getting back to where I left off can take 10 minutes of scrolling through the posts I've already read!

Personal Blacklist for web searches
Just a quick suggestion, probably not original.
I would like to store in my cookie or somewhere that I don't what to get results from specific domains, ever. For example, looking for programming stuff I always get results from experts-exchange, but it is paid content, I should be able to remove them from the results. It is ok in the right side.
Should be fairly easy, if not already in place (I know about the advanced search, so it is just having those limits appended automatically). - AnonymousJuly 24, 2008 at 3:31 AM

I think it would be great if you could store audio files under google docs or another section. Google needs a jukebox to save personal music!!
ReplyDelete Google has done superior work with almost everything it touches turns to gold. Among my favorites is GrandCentral, which google has recently acquired.
My attention now turns to online book keeping. There are several companies out there that do this. Wesabe, Mint, and others http://www.tradevibes.com/company/profile/wesabe/competitors
I currently use Wesabe, a free service, what I particularly like about it, as opposed to mint is that Mint assumes 100% trust, as it asks for your bank account # and password, that's a lot to ask from anyone, were wesabe requires that I upload my bank account manually (trust issues).
These web applications I think could be developed a lot more, and I would recommend that Google spearhead a similar project, either from scratch or by acquisition. And expand it more. There is still a lot of room to grow.- AnonymousAugust 11, 2008 at 7:37 AM
Google Search
In the highlighted words found in a Cached web page, it would be nice to be able to click on the colored highlighted word that was included in the search, then the Cached page would direct you to each of the same colored highlighted words down the archived cache page. - AnonymousAugust 14, 2008 at 1:05 PM
i think that google should have a sensor that does not display any results when you search for inappropriate stuff such as porn, nude, etc. that would greaty help to reduce the amount of pornograpgy available on the net.

In Google Maps
An option to download a PDF as an alternative to printing or emailing would be nice.
Because Google could control every aspect of the process the output could be more consistent. This might resolve several problems such as highlighted routes not printing with certain browsers. - AnonymousAugust 23, 2008 at 1:58 AM

I wish that on Google Maps you could close the "balloons" that don't match what you're looking for. For example, if you do a search for, say, appliances, and some of the results come back as appliance manufacturers and not a place you can buy appliances, I'd like to get rid of that suggestion so I can continue looking at the map with only the places I can can actually buy them.

Suggestion for Google Earth: I'd like to see (Panoramio) image density at all levels. Why: if a location has lots of images, chances are there is something interesting to see there!
So let's say I'm planning a trip to China, and I want to figure out interesting places. Google Earth could show me the "hotspots", allowing me to select and zoom in further to quickly find locations that might be interesting to visit. Hello Google Team,
First of All Congrats to all Team members for your real hard work.I appreciate your lot of smart work and architecture you used. I tried Google Chrome Brand new Browser. I really like its performance and simply it is super. The way you implemented Chrome is really appreciable.
Since it is BETA version from Google, I would like to provide some comments from my experience.
1. Scroll Bar is not working properly when working on my Laptop. [we can move vertical scroll bar down and can't move up].
2. Font visibility is not Great when compare with IE.
3.There is no Dropdown when try to add website link to Favorites.
4. Not able to recognize Website image when saved to Links Folder in favorite.
5. Flash players in Some sites like [www.isaitamil.net] is not working.
6. Think this browser consumes more memory compare to IE.
7. Font appearance is not great when you typing password for Net banking like BOA.
8. If you provide standard menu like IE, that would be great.
am not asking for toolbars like Yahoo.
Hope this may help you- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2008 at 8:38 AM
I use Google Maps quite often for driving and walking directions and public transportation routes. Have the wonderful people at Google ever thought of providing bike routes? This would be especially useful when traveling in new cities.
ReplyDelete GOOGLE CHROME: é bem prático visualizar as páginas mais visitadas. É um recuros inovador para browsers, mas bater diretamente com a questão privacidade. Se não gostamos que pessoas fiquem vendo onde navegamos, imagina mostrar logo de cara thumbnails de nossos sites... Acho que deveria haver uma opçõa para desabilitar esse recurso, e melhor, logo na página inicial, para o usuário não ter de procurar por opções "avançadas".
i am a frequent online shopper and use quite a few search websites that can search for an item in a few stores at the same time. one of such websites is froogle
as a big fan of google i would love to stick with froogle, but it lacks a few vital search options i find on other websites that are very helpful
it would be great if there was a check option on the front page where i could select clothing/shoe size i'm looking for, a color i'm looking for and select men/women/child categories. maybe brand or store.
the fact that i can see seller ratings is a big plus!
P.S. I second the motion (see kiran's post) Google should come up with an OS =)Hi GOOGLE!
I have been an avid google maps user on Symbian S60 device. I had an idea for a feature that I think many other users would find interesting and usefull. I am currently looking to purchase a house and I thought how nice it would be to integrate the maps with houses for sale and their specs as we drive. I know you a similar product incorporated with google maps, but the mobile version would be unbelievable!!!!
Thanks for letting me share my idea. I hope you like it enough to give it a go.
ps - Would you guys think about adding on-the-fly navigation changes if we miss a turn? That would also be very nice. That is my ONLY complaint about GMM.I have a suggestion for Blogger. I'd like to see a form of Blogger that allows you to send private messages to a blog owner. This way if you have a personal or even vaguely embarassing question or comment to make not everyone can see the comment on the blog. Also it would be nice if on a blogger's profile there was an icon of some sort to show that the blogger is signed in at the moment or at least saying the last time that the blogger signed in. This would help with the private messages immensely. I assure you that these features would most likely make Blogger and Google, as a whole, much more popular.

This will be some dort of intellicence in search indeed.
Thanks,I have a suggestion for Google Maps. Provide a mechanism for various jurisdictions to mark routes as being "closed" or "under construction". I would envision it involving some kind of credential that is verified as belonging to that jurisdiction but then an engineer or other representative can mark a route that is closed so that people who aren't familiar with the area can plan a workable route before they encounter a massive delay or closure and possibly become lost as a result.

A google PDF search, like the images but searches only downloadable PDFs. Great for technical downloads, students, order forms etc. If you could share portfolios in google finance, that would be great!
for example, i've made lists of different portolios - green energy, banks, finance , etc.
I have friends that I would like to discuss some of these companies at length.. it would be nice if i could just sent it to them, or... transfer these list to my igoogle!i think there should be some way for a browser to remember a group of sites. for eg, when i have to work on some project, thr are usually 2-3 browser windows open, each having 5-6 tabs. but, when i am done for the day, i just minimize them all an put my computer to sleep. the next day, i resume working by maximizing all of them. it would be great if thr is a way to keep the addresses of all those sites in the memory of the browser itself, under a folder name (similar to a folder on the bookmark toolbar, but stronger and better). when i click on this, all the pages get opened in the appropriate windows. this will enhance my productivity.

I'm extremely frustrated by the inaccuracy of Google Traffic, compared to Sigalert.com. As a regular user of Sigalert.com, I find it very accurate for traffic info. In contrast, Google Traffic never matches Sigalert.com, and the driving experience always matches Sigalert.com. One of the main reasons I just got an iphone is to be able to check traffic on the go with the Google Maps/Traffic app, since it's much quicker (and more reliable) than having to surf the net for Sigalert.com. But Google Traffic is useless if it's not accurate. Not sure why this is, since I would think the traffic data all comes from the same source. I've been searching on the net, and have seen others comment about this too.... Please fix this app! Thanks.

ReplyDelete subject:Google can improve it's e-mail services.
Yes,I think google can certainly improve it's busines by adding more services/products to its e- mail service like,
When an e-mail is sent, the recipient should not only be able to open the e-mail and read the document by him self but he must be able to hear the document orally by just pressing a GUI provided (button).
There must be a facility for back ground music in an e-mail.
There must be facility to record a very short voice message along with e-mail sent.
how can google make a business from this?
the actual meThe answere is by giving voice or recorded ads before playing ssage.- AnonymousOctober 23, 2008 at 7:47 PM
It would be great if Google could launch a program which would search for songs or any kind of music. It would give the user additional options such as listen to the song/music and it would also allow the user to download the song/music. I am sure it would be a big hit.

Create a google.com/polls site. Google could setup an algorithm that allows people to create a subject to poll and keep track of statistics. Users could add questions and vote to remove questions. The primary goal of such a google service would be to improve mankind while making money through advertisements. For example, a poll could be established for many diseases. By looking at the statistics of questions answered, researchers could narrow the search for the cause. Also, researchers could add questions deemed needed. Any polling subject of interest could be created by google users around the world. I have typed this message here because I couldn't find anywhere else to send google an idea.
ReplyDelete Hi Guys,
My Suggestion is for Google Maps. Currently when I select Point A to Point B, it states the duration of the trip (estimation), it would be nice if when you mouse over the currently trip route, if it gave you an estimated time to get to that point where you are mousing over.
I am currently planning a long trip, ie: 14 hours, and would be nice to estimate roughly where to have a break and rest.

Would really be helpful, if it was possible, to try to make a way to trim down searches. For instance, I was looking for a nice restaurant in my area, but I got a bunch of fast food restaurants. So, instead of trying to sift through it all, it'd be much faster and easier if there were a way to "delete" the selection so that it disappears (for that session) from the listing.

Me as a computer gamer
I think that Google company is interfering in everything
Web browser
Operating system
pda operating system
But google and until now is not getting into the 3d gaming world
I think (and i am not responsible for those ideas) that we need a new strategy game that is highly 3d dimensional and involves reality, and that is just like command and conquer generals, but involves China, Russia, Iran, and USA. We are at a time in which financial crisis danger is increasing, and many think that this may lead to World War III, so I think it would be a great idea if Google made its first 3d strategy game, I think this would be excellent especially if it involved story line, and skirmish, and i think that google has the financial power, and the ability to make a one that has graphics that are even higher than crises. Gmail parts such as : Inbox,Sent mails,Trash,etc. do not have a feature to select all or mark all of messages ,so the user has to mark them one by one and It's Too boring .
Maybe Google's crew have a reason for not inserting this service in Gmail Account . by the way it was my duty to write it .

Let suppose that I can donate 1 cent every time that I click on "mGOOD." and that I do it everyday as a habit, the first time I use google. And, many, many people do the same. Let's say that I get billed and pay once a month through google checkout.

Thanks for all that you provide. Hey, I'd just like to throw out a suggestion for Chrome:
Why not have the user log directly into Chrome with their Google Account? That way all Google services will be available by the click of a button. The real benefit of this would be to store bookmarks server-side, so that users can have access to their favourite websites, simply by using Chrome, in any location.

When searching Google, or something like Google Images, it would be nice to have a key that would function as 'next page', rather than having to click next. This way, the mouse would not need to be moved apart from the scroll wheel, and it would be faster to search multiple pages.
ReplyDelete Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or what. But here it goes:
For Google Chrome, you should look a little bit more into a web browser called Maxthon (or MYIE2). It is a discontinued web browser that runs on IE. However, it has really nice features.
One of the nice features that Maxthon has and that I would also like to see in Google is that it has a button to open the last 10 pages I visited (one by one of course). It's really annoying when I close a website and I forgot to check something and to re-open it I have to go and look for it's address again. It would be much easier to do this with just a button.
Another feature I would like to see is that I could scroll through the tabs with the mousewheel. That would be excellent.
And maybe the best feature of Maxthon that I would like to see in Chrome is that it opens links by just dragging the link. That is, you click and drag a link and it just opens it in another tab.
That's all. Thanks!- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2009 at 8:37 AM
First of all, I have to admit that Google Chrome is far the best browser I have used since now. The only feature I really miss is to be able to share the same bookmarks among different PCs (sort of integrated Google-Bookmarks). Since I started to use Gmail as my default account, I began to appreciate this gradual shift to on-line applications, so now to me it's quite normal to be able to access to my personally customized services from wherever I am.
I really wish that Google Chrome could stick to the same philosophy and could provide a way to have the "same browser" on any PC I am using.
Thanks you to all the Google stuff for your great efforts!
Regards Google search isn't what it was a few years ago. I searched for "Giro sunglasses". This is a major manufacturer in the athletic market. The company didn't make the first 3 pages. Only resellers sites appeared. If google continues to rank resellers higher or let them "bribe up" they will be blown out by competetors when their patent expires.

My suggestion seems pretty simple, to me.
My home page is the Google News page. Often when I am there, I enter a term in the google search box where I want to do a search on the whole web, not just the news page. Then I hit the first button to the right, "search google news" (or whatever it says) and not the button to the far right "search the web" (which I wanted to hit). I get the results on the news page, which of course are almost never what I am looking for. I would like a button on the news page that says basically "no, I meant to search the web, search again"
Anyhow, you would think I would learn to hit the correct button, but I never do.

In google earth: the ability to draw a circle based on a required size; ie 5 mile radius
If this feature already exists then how do you do it..?
Thanks Please add an option to the toolbar's 'find' feature that allows it to work like it did in the older versions of google toolbar. Typing words in the search field would automatically show up as buttons in the toolbar. The new feature of displaying the 'find' field at the bottom is not synchronized with the search field and this makes it more difficult to find information when searching multiple subjects. A compromise is to keep the new 'find' bar, but it should always be displayed and sychronized with the search field.

could be combined as a system of sublabels

The start of the academic year marks milestones for campus construction projects, including the final phase of Princeton University's solar collector field, which will produce solar power to support the University's annual electrical needs.
Following a summer buzzing with activity, progress on new buildings and renovated facilities will continue this fall. Among the next steps for ongoing projects: Interior work will begin at the Neuroscience and Psychology buildings; the foundation will be laid for the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment; and demolition will commence to make way for the new Lakeside graduate community.
Updates on the following projects were provided by the Facilities Organization units, including the Department of Campus Energy and Utilities, Grounds and Building Maintenance, the Office of Design and Construction, and the Office of Real Estate Development, which oversee different projects within the University's 10-year Campus Plan.
Solar collector field: Installation of the solar collector field, comprising 16,500 photovoltaic panels, is nearly complete. The 5.3-megawatt system is now being tested in phases and an official opening celebration is scheduled for October. Located on 27 acres in West Windsor adjacent to Princeton's main campus, the collector field will be connected to the University's main campus electric power distribution system, and is anticipated to meet between 6 and 8 percent of the University's annual electrical needs when fully operational. New landscaping on the site will screen the panels from nearby Washington Road, Lake Carnegie and the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath.
The University worked with SunPower Corp., a global solar technology company with East Coast offices in Trenton, N.J., to design and build the system. Key Equipment Finance, based in Superior, Colo., will fund and own the system, and will lease it to Princeton.
Neuroscience and Psychology buildings: Exterior work on the 248,000-square-foot, two-building project designed by José Rafael Moneo Vallés Arquitecto of Madrid is expected to finish early this fall. The state-of-the-art complex features energy-efficient outer walls composed of two "skins" of artisan glass with a three-foot-wide space for air circulation inserted between them. Construction will continue on the interior of the building through this fall, including electrical, mechanical and plumbing work. The new home of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Psychology, located south of Icahn Laboratory along Washington Road, is expected to open in fall 2013.
Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment: This summer marked the completion of excavation of the site, a process that involved grinding — rather than blasting — bedrock in order to reduce disruptions for occupants in nearby buildings. The three-story facility, which will be home to the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, will extend one story below grade and include specialized engineering laboratories, offices, support spaces and a lecture hall. Concrete operations to lay the foundation are underway, and erection of the building's steel frame is expected to start this winter. The 129,000-square-foot structure, to be located at the corner of Olden and Prospect streets, has been designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects of New York.
Washington Road stream: The restoration of the Washington Road stream, which flows into Lake Carnegie near Faculty Road, was completed this summer. The project aims to reduce erosion and other damage to ecosystems in the area, as well as improve the water quality of the stream and lake. The reconfiguration was engineered by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin of Watertown, Mass., and involved: widening the stream; reducing its existing slope through the use of step pools; reconfiguring the flood plain; and placing approximately 300 new trees and 2,000 plantings around the Washington Road valley. The University will spend the next five years monitoring the success of improvements to the landscape and waterways.
Firestone Library: A reconfigured lobby greeted students and faculty returning to the University as part of the second phase of the comprehensive, 10-year renovation of Firestone Library. Many of the changes, such as the temporarily relocated security desk and temporarily relocated circulation and reserve service counter, are interim steps toward creating a more open lobby and adding reader spaces on the first floor. The building's main staircase will remain closed until January 2013 for permanent improvements to the stairs, including a new skylight installation. Work also will continue in a large area of the A floor to upgrade mechanical systems, and improve much of the collection and study spaces. The library will remain open and occupied throughout the long-term project designed by Shepley Bulfinch architects of Boston with Frederick Fisher Partners of Los Angeles.
Bedford Field: Bedford Field recently opened as the new home of the Princeton field hockey team, following work this summer to convert the ground from grass to artificial turf. Drainage improvements also were completed as part of the project's first phase. The final phase will begin in spring 2013 and will include a grandstand, field lighting, press box modifications and a new building, designed by Marble Fairbanks of New York, with team rooms and bathrooms. The press box and outbuilding will be shared with the men's and women's lacrosse teams, which use the adjacent Class of 1952 Stadium.
Jadwin Hall: The four-year phased renovation of Jadwin Hall, which houses the Department of Physics, continues this academic year with work focused on the 2nd floor and B level. By the time the project is completed in fall 2013, the entire building will be outfitted with new energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, energy-efficient lighting and building controls, new windows, and upgraded sprinkler and fire alarm systems. Offices, laboratories, classrooms and lobby spaces also have been refreshed and updated as part of the project.
Hoyt Laboratory: The ongoing renewal of Hoyt Lab will provide new mechanical, electrical and laboratory systems throughout the 34,000-square foot structure, which is intended to extend the building's life and make it more efficient. Interior renovations will continue this fall to create specialized laboratory and administrative spaces to accommodate biological engineering research affiliated with the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Hoyt Lab has been offline since the chemistry department moved to the new Frick Chemistry Laboratory in fall 2010.
West College waterproofing: Waterproofing the West College basement was one of many University maintenance projects completed this summer, though working without damaging the historic structure's ivy presented a unique challenge. The project required digging a hole around the administrative building, near the ivy's base, to seal the exterior below grade. Grounds and Building Maintenance staff preserved the plantings by digging up the roots, wrapping them in burlap and placing them in wooden boxes anchored to the building. As the waterproofing was finished in sections, the ivy was replanted.
Lakeside: The former Hibben and Magie apartments will be demolished this fall to make way for the new Lakeside graduate student community, which will house up to 715 residents in 329 units. Preparations for construction of a parking garage and the facility's geothermal heating and cooling system will happen at the same time. The project, which is expected to finish in summer 2014, will expand housing capacity at the site located south of Faculty Road and east of Alexander Street along Lake Carnegie. The project team includes the architectural firm Studio Ma of Phoenix and Princeton, and developer American Campus Communities of Austin, Texas.
Merwick and Stanworth faculty and staff housing: The University will seek final site plan approval from the Princeton Regional Planning Board this fall for the proposed community of townhomes and apartments along Route 206/Bayard Lane. Phase one of the project is expected to be completed in summer 2014 with the construction of 128 units at the Merwick site. The second stage of work at Stanworth is scheduled to follow with the redevelopment of 198 units and is expected to be completed in summer 2016. Design architect Torti Gallas and Partners of Maryland is developing the project on behalf of the University.
Olden House: Olden House, developed by local architect and developer J. Robert Hillier of Princeton, will provide 18 apartments for visiting faculty members. Following demolition this summer of two unoccupied townhomes owned by the University, construction is expected to begin this month on the 11,779-square-foot building at the corner of Olden and Williams streets. It is scheduled to open in summer 2013.

"Beth's Oscar Party" - A Video Of Our Trip To "The Academy of Friends" Oscar Party in San Francisco For The Academy Awards
My great friend Beth Schnitzer throws the best parties. One of them is an annual gathering of friends to watch the Academy Awards, and where this author has served as ballot scorer and three-time first prize winner (in six years!)
This year, Beth wanted to try something different, and with that decided to arrange for us to attend the San Francisco Academy of Friends Benefit Party. Held at the Concourse Exhibition Center, this emormous event drew an estimated 2,500 people. It features food and drink from 32 San Francisco Restaurants, an auction, and just plain fun all to raise money to attack AIDS.
A good portion of the attendees are Gay (maybe the majority), and so it presents a great slice of San Francisco life. And candidly I write that it's an event everyone should attend at least once and if only to just get over whatever "stuff" they may be dealing with and learn to just plain enjoy people. Everyone's very nice and funny, and if you're a single straight guy like me there's loads of attractive women. But that written, our group was full of beautiful, smart women so there was no real need to go elsewhere.
The video I took (which you can see with a click here or on the title of this post and with the QuickTime application) presents Beth at her best: always with a smile, introducing us not just to anyone, but heavy-hitters, energetic, lively, fun, and yet very professional all at the same time. I keep telling her she should run for office, as I think she'd make an excellent San Francisco Supervisor--or Mayor!
The video is also a celebration of our friends, including the very talkative and expressive Mr. Abraham (that's me). I don't resist a time to get my face in the video as you're going to see. And even when I'm not in the picture, you can hear my voice and that cacaling laugh of mine.
Also, listen for the Oscar picts of our friends. It's interesting to see who picked what and their inflections of confidence that "Brokeback Mountain" was going to take the best picture award.
The flick itself has parts where it seems like the camera's on while being carried in a rush. It is. I started to edit out that part but as I watched it, I felt just like I did at the time when the camcoder was on: in a chaotic, fun rush. I know you'll feel the same way!

Runamok Maple - Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup 250ml
We start with our best organic maple syrup and age it in recently emptied Bourbon barrels. The syrup draws in the essence of the Bourbon without the alcohol.
Like premium whiskeys, the process takes time, and careful tending. But the result is a sophisticated duo that will become a new classic.

(If you're a new reader, welcome. Also, apologies. This is a very odd knitting blog in that actual yarn makes only occasional appearances. I keep meaning to post the latest ten rows of my whatever and never quite get around to it. So I draw pictures to distract you. Now you know the custom of the country.)
Here's the Regicide Scarf, front (right) and back (left).
I am still deeply in love with this yarn, which is Four Play from Brooks Farm. I can't believe how much yardage was included in the skein for a mere $14 or $16 (can't quite remember which). The scarf is 6 inches wide and a bit over 4 feet long, and I still have a good 1/2 the ball left to knit. That's generosity.
As you can see, the reverse of the scarf has the pebbly texture of reverse stockinette, because that's mostly what it is. There are traces visible of the King Charles Brocade diagonals, but they disappear at two paces. I quite like the look, especially in the variegated colorway.
C was away this weekend in New York City, so I spent a lot of time on another project as well, the square baby shawl from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. I'm working it in Dale Baby Ull.
The shawl pattern is simple (two paragraphs or so) but includes a lot of fun stuff, like Emily Ocker's Circular Cast-On (done with a crochet hook). If unaltered, it produces a very simple square with faggot stitch dividing the four plain stockinette quarters.
I decided to put Version II of the Tulip Lace from Barbara Walker Volume I into each quarter, with the strong central line of the stem running diagonally to the corners of the square. I also plan on a lace edging using some Shetland pattern or another, courtesy of Sharon Miller's Heirloom Knitting. My first attempt was good, but not what I'd hoped for. I frogged it all completely, started over, and am much happier.
Pictures forthcoming. No, seriously.
I finished the beginning of the shawl during the final minutes of the last episode of The Pallisers, and so in honor of one of my favorite characters from English fiction I have re-named the project "Glencora." (Susan Hampshire, I love you.)
A scarf commemorating a dead king and a shawl named after the fictional Duchess of Omnium. Boy, some democrat I am.
Cast On: Episode 17
Thank you for all the enthusiastic comments about Episode 17 of Cast On. My dominant feeling is relief. Relief that my trusty essayists (C and Buzz) turned up trumps in both writing and performance. Relief that I got my bits recorded. Relief that said bits successfully arrived in Wales. Relief that I did not, in fact, sink Brenda's ship by rambling on incoherently and then making everybody listen to bluegrass.
People have been asking to see the sweater with the Latin inscription worked into it. It's here.
My Former High School
A concerned parent from Honolulu also wanted to know the name of the awful high school I went to. Here's their Web site. My disappointment at learning that the place hasn't been shut down and replaced by condominiums or a Pizza Hut knows no bounds.
I was particularly amused to find the following listed as an aspect of the school's educational mission:
Celebrates the value and dignity of each person and nurtures the development of the whole person.I guess the faculty are no longer allowed to publicly single out members of the student body who ask questions like "Why are there no female authors on any of our reading lists?" as "stupid fucking faggots."
They've probably also dropped the lesson in biology class where AIDS is explained as God's punishment on men who sleep with men. And the attempts in gym class to find out who was gay so that they could torture the suspects.
(Before anybody starts an anti-Catholic or anti-Catholic school tirade in the comments, don't. I have [extremely] bad memories of this particular school. I don't allow slams at any religion on this blog, and I'll delete them without exception or apology. So hold your fire.)
And Finally
Hot gay cowboys on pretty horses.
See? You forgot all about how I didn't take pictures of the baby shawl, didn't you?

Snowflakes by Niamh Cameron
Snowflakes, snowflake falling down
Now is the time to get out side
Wind is blowing them all around
Falling gently down to the ground
Twinkling sparkling to the ground
Laughing, playing, shouting, and having fun
Again and again
Kindly playing and laughing and shouting
Eating chocolate fudge cakes
Snowflakes falling down
By: Asia age 12 from Columbus,OH
Sometimes I would like to live
Sometimes I would like to stay in bed
Sometimes life can be so harsh
No matter what I would always try and know that without neglect
Sometimes I would like to know that you love me for who I am
Sometimes I would like to live and have fun
And know that without shame.
FLOWER by Nadine
Each petal,
Formed by fairies,
So loving,
Yet so sad,
Wave goodbye,
And yet hello,
The crafts man ship,
So great,
The colours,
So defined,
Each line and scar,
So pretty,
It's there,
But do we see,
The message that's inscribed?
poem by Jazz
As i lay under these dark and shadowing pillows,
i hear the distort sound of a jingle.
This shows me that I am young ant the sun has risen,
that life has a meaning to its simple word.
I carefully lift the cushions to find that life is long and cannot be
It's not the synonym to monotonous or ugly,
but the meaning of freedom and opportunities.
Opportunities that can brig you happiness or sadness,
any emotion in life is required for I am old and the sun has set.
Finally i feel proud that i have lived life,
that i have lived freedom.
Poem by Mira
I sat in my room
I saw a bird
he sang with joy
I covered my ears
what a noisy bird
Peace At Night by Grace V
Oh Flower, oh flower,
Shine so bright.
Hold me tight
with all your might.
Hold me close
hold me tight
I'll pray for you tonight.
Stop the demons from getting to me.
I'll hold you and you hold me.
Poem by Abby
Those six words are something which seemed to change my life.
I kept it a secret. All emotions of horrid pain and sober faded.
I thought it would last forever, but to me nothing good last forever.
People would always tell me that i was to good for him and i could do
All those words washed over me. People would always say, young
love never last only 1 in a million chances. I thought we would last.
Until that day came, i wanted it to go right past me but in essence air
doesn't go right past you, it goes through you.
He said it was nothing I did. I walked away thanking him for making my life better.
Words that I let pass by me filled my head.
One in a million chances and young
love never lasts.
By Coconut age 7 from Surabaya, Indonesia
You were once my wave
The centre of my love
The meaning in my existence
The reason I awakened.
This wave has new directions
It is no longer here
So another one arrives
Crashing at my shore.
Breathing life into my soul
Beating drums and music near
Lighting beacons from a distance
Sailing oceans back to home.
Jewish Boy-Outcast
by Ben age 12 from Sydney, Australia
My home, my life taken away in a flash,
Click, clatter, talk, punch and my family is snatched.
They stare, and comment as if I weren't there,
And treat me like dirt and laugh at me like a bear.
Tears and anger, pacing around me,
Kids leaving rooms as I wait to be free.
The smell of a sensation never before,
Yet the scars, stench and shivers tells me it s probably more.
I am a plane waiting for instruction,
But I hear a story of terror and destruction.
The ticket to the end I was told is coming,
That noise of the train, strumming, humming, and drumming.
Staring out of the carriage glass,
Telling myself it s not true, soon it will pass.
Poem by Lewis age 12 from Cork, Ireland
Here I stand I'm all alone
I have no friends to call on the phone
I'd love to run and jump and play
Instead I sulk at home all day
But when I think about myself
My family's rich and and we're all in health
I hope to God that I live long
I'm all alone but I stand strong
by Grace age 10
The day is down, and as the sun sets in the west,
So does the night sky emerge from the east.
I look west, a merge of red, orange and yellow,
As the last rays of sun light stream over the hills;
I see the first twinkly, twilight stars,
And a first glimpse of a silvery moon.
As darkness spills in, the dusk sky gradually turns into night.
And I fall gently to sleep and peacefully dream till morning.
Love by Kaillie age 12 from Long Beach, CA
Losing my fears,
Losing my tears,
In the shadows of love.
Deep in it's depths I seep,
No mourning, no weeping,
It is my fate
No going back,
I've gone too far,
And I've lost myself to the stranger of love.
My Animal
by Katie Hershberger
My animal is black and white,
but you cannot fly him like a kite.
He is short and he is fat,
but he is not a rat.
Can you guess what he is?
By Elisa age 11 from Anerly, UK
Tall, small, skinny, plump.Many different races, held in
different places.
Soft, gentle, hard, strong. Some very slim, some very long.
A back reast - a friend to man.
When work has been done and hours have been long: we are loved by
blue, red, green, purple, black, white. Silver, yellow, gold; any
colour you like!
we're used in school, used at work, used at home and not at all.
Made by wood, metal stone. Feathers, cusions fluff...
Just generally made by stuff!
A clean, mean, sitting machine! And yet, what we all forget:
When we are no longer needed, not loved like we were.
Burnt to a crist, left to die but we all help when cries are
we help the young, we help the old, we help the deaf, we help the
blind.Yet none are loved, let us all come to reign!
When the skies shine and fire roars, our netions love for us will
show it's glory.
So think about it hard and think about it well for there is
nothing more to tell:
We are a backrest- a friend to man and we will always be ready to
keep a helping hand...
By Emma Jane Austin age 10 from surrey
i stand and stare so closely getting redy to say hi.
but still you don't notice me you pretend i am invisible and walk
i hoped that one day you'd see me but still you decided to ride
free. so what is this freedom is it something i know?
does it wash or bath or feed you? is it fast or slow?
i want to see more of this freedom i waited time passing by. does
it hide in treetops? or pays fees off? hmm why why why?
so today i discovered freedom
was it something i know? well it's life as we see it bad or good
so be it but but if i didn't have it i wish i could
The Northern Lights
By Emma age 10 surrey
An icy special rainbow floating in the sky
a wonderful abstract picture
drying from up high.
A king of all the mountains
A god of all the sea.
A wonderful glowing lava lamp
lighting the sky for me.
I KNEW IT WAS OVER by Jacob age 10 from Brighton, UK
I ran out of weapons, I shrieked in anger, I started to run for
my life
I looked over my shoulder and saw my friends fall
I could feel my heart beat as fast as a cheetah BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I saw a spear flying towards my direction, it hit me in the
My eyes were closing, I was going to die. It was getting darker
and darker
By Megan age 7 from Newcastle upon Tyne
A good friend is kind.
A good friend does not pick fights.
A good friend shares things.
A good friend helps you.
A good friend loves you.
It is simple to follow.
I will be a good friend to all.
By Megan age 7 from Newcastle upon Tyne.
When winter awakes there are lots of snow flakes, in the
shivering cold.
I was always told, don't forget
your mittens, they're as warm as Kittens.
Now don't forget the toasty fire, it is much warmer than electric
At bedtime a whistling wind comes to mint the room. But I am
tucked up all snug in my bed.
My teddy by Chloe age 11 from, Bilston UK
My teddy is soft
My teddy is firm
My teddy loves me
And I love my teddy
My mum says
I'm glued to that bear
But it is so special
As my daddy
Let me have
A teddy so special to him
And ever so bright
Were the teddy's eyes
So now I say goodnight.

There are people walking in the street
They are walking on their feet
Going in the shops and looking
At all the lovely treats
Now they are going to the cinema
They want to see a movie
So they buy some chocolate
and a big pot of popcorn
and a great big strawberry smoothie
Then they all go home to bed
Shopping is very tiring
The movie was fun
But the day is done
It is time to rest their head

poem by Lydia AGE: 12 LOCATION: Poole
Grey Wispy Hair,
Dry Wrinkly skin.
Long Sad stare,
Skin; Bony and thin.
Wheelchair, always there,
bony purple veins.
hands, rough and rare'
endless elderly pains.
Little yellow liver spots,
Knobbly bony legs.
Tired eyes in their slots,
Arms as thin as clothes pegs.
Thin flat smile,
no expression in face.
nightgown of lace,
100 years old.
I am the middle child
i think its really mean
im stuck in between like
a tinned-sardine
im the filling of the sandwich
yes thats what i am
mum says im sweet so perhaps
im jam. xxx

Honey Limerick!
I like to eat lots of honey,
Especially when day's are sunny,
It's sticky and thick,
So eat it up quick,
The thing is it costs to much money.
Hannah age 8 from England
The unicorn has its own magic and spell,
Around her neck is a giant silver bell.
From her horn dust will fall,
She only comes when she hears her call.
The colour of her is crystal white,
Go to her, she will not bite.
Her beauty is so wonderful,
Her mane is ever so beautiful.
The golden hoofs on her feet,
Look like like a rippled golden sheet.
Looking at her diamond eyes,
You see her under fluffy, pink skies.
She swings her tail from side to side,
When it's day she will always hide.
Her canter is ever so soft,
I saw her first from my loft.
She will be a horse in the morn,
I know she's special because she's a unicorn.
by Naomi age 12 from United Kingdom
School by Owen Spokes 10 kent, England
Sports can be tennis,
but don't be a menace
with the rackets.
English is writing,
underlining, highlighting
or brackets.
Maths is for sums,
not twiddling your thumbs
in a test.
Tests are important
and can't be shortened
so do you're best.
French is for language
like how you say "sandwich"
and one, two and three.
There's not a vacation
in school education
so learning is what it should be!
There's a Monster Under my Bed
At night, when I get told to go to bed, I get all shocked
and I shiver a lot. I say to Mum and dad "Please
Don't leave me alone upstairs, with the MONSTER under
My bed". Mum and dad always say "Don't be silly,
There's nothing under your bed, it's just your imaginary
When I get upstairs the MONSTER gives a "ROAR" I start
to shiver and shake then I gave a loud scream.
But when I looked under my bed it was only my big fat
by Rebecca9, Waikanae, New Zealand
Her hair is a black cloud forming in the distance
Her eyes are like two meatballs sitting on a pink plate
Her teeth are like ice cubes waiting to sucked
Her legs are like two velvet pink gowns on a clothes rack
My Mum is a tall slim statue on a hill of gold
by Katherine 10, New Zealand
Paris10, Wellington New Zealand
Her hair is as orange as a fire in a wood.
She's as loud as a lions roar.
Her eyes are a patch of deep blue sea surround by white sand.
Her nose is like a shell sticking out of the sand on a warm summers day.
Her teeth are like rows of pearls on a pink piece of paper.
Her lips are like red blood drizzled on a face.
Her eyebrows are like piles of bright orange tulips in rows.
Her ears are like two small pink jelly beans glued to a face.
Hunting Cat by Courtney.9, Wellington, NewZealand
Fluffy cat hunting,
clear glistening eyes searching,
pointy whiskers twitching,
silky pricked ears listening,
long wispy tail waving,
sharp teeth ready to bite!
My Sister by Mcgregor6, New Zealand
Tickles Me
Runs With Me
Anouska leyensage 10 from London
cats are cute and cuddly
some are mean and bite
some cats are small and short
what never even fight
some cats are fluffy some are not
but there's one thing that cats don't like
that's DOGS!!!!
The Magic Box
by Sasha Keene10, Edgware
I will put in my box
the sound of the waves clashing together,
the sweet smell of popcorn,
and the first gurgle of my baby cousin.
I will put in my box
the excitement of going on holiday,
a fresh start to the new day,
and seeing the red, orange and yellow sunset for the first time.
I will put in my box
the feeling of waking up on your birthday and knowing your a whole year older,
the view from your hotel window looking over the beautiful ocean,
and the glisten of the first star you see.
My box is bright purple with golden spirals on the lid and lovely memorys in the corners.
I shall swim in my box
in the biggest oceans in the world, then be scooped up by a net and drop me on the finest, yellowest beach ever found.
Let's Think Of Things That Rhyme
by Alex Sage 10 from England
People like to chat
Maybe not about a bat
Maybe about their pet cat
I don't know why,
But you may have sat
On your hat
But how do we know that?
When people get on their front door mat
Maybe what you want to do is play with your pet rat
Or maybe even your pet gnat
I think we know 'chat' rhymes with a lot of things
But lets go on and rhyme, say, 'rings'
Or maybe not, maybe 'kings'
Imagine if people say, had wings!
Then we could fly away to the land of glings!
I think we know that 'chat' and 'rings'
Rhyme with A LOT of things!
I think now my poem must end
For we have gone far too far round the bend
So you and I must descend
For this poem has finished its twiddly end.
WHALES by Beth Hammond age 10 from the UK
Whales are like hail
Spraying water out of their spouts
But they're not as bad as brussel sprouts!
So do not doubt a whale's friendliness
Because it won't come round for tea it doesn't have your address!
Whales don't have spots or dots
But have greyness a lot!
They howl in the wind, they say
But really it's in the water in day
So don't be scared of whales please
Because if you turn around to see
It might just be a snail!
by Alex and Emma, age 9 from England
Jugs of bugs
Mugs of bugs
Jugs and mugs and glugs of bugs
some small some big
some crawl some dig
Some thin some thick
Some as hard as a brick
Some short some tall
Some huge some small
Some soft some hard
Some thin as playing cards
Jugs of bugs
Mugs of bugs
Jugs and mugs and glugs of bugs
I went to the park
when it was dark
I was walking along
I singing my song
But I stopped when I heard a bark
by Gina 7, Lyminge
Jenijaz age 5 Birmingham
Mummy is soft like a teddy bear
I put my fingers in her hair
Even though I'm still little
My hair is still awfully brittle
My mummy says I'll grow up strong
I'm going to be a singer and sing all day long,
I like to hug my ted to my tum,
But I prefer to hug my mum.
Chocolate is a treasure
hiding in the cupboard
Chocolate is a delicious smell
floating on the air
Chocolate is smooth water
being poured from a jug
Chocolate is a piece of ice
melting in your mouth
Chocolate is gluey mess
sticking on your fingers
