What's next for Google?

Google's search engine – the first Google tool – has dominated our internet searches and pervades our daily lingo.

Google Inc. hasn't lost any steam. More than 10 years after its incorporation, the Google Empire has expanded to offer email, a repertoire of millions of online books, an innovative map program including a new navigation tool and more.

How did anyone manage before Google?

Some of Google's most recent projects include:

Google Street View, which has been widely criticized as an invasion of privacy. The application expands on Google Maps by giving the option to view landscapes in three dimensions in select cities.

Google Dashboard: A one stop-shop for all your Google tools. The Dashboard will display any of your tools in one area for easy use instead of having to open each application separately.

Google Wave: The highly anticipated Google Wave will, according to Google, revolutionize how we communicate. It will incorporate ideas from email, instant messaging, blogs, wikis and bulletin boards into a single method of communicating.

Google Wave was announced in May and is currently open only to software developers and select users.

But Google seems to have forgotten some important tools. Here are some suggestions for Google's next projects:

Google Lingo: replaces slang on websites such as "that's sick," "lol" or "cool" with proper English language.

Google Blind Date: A tool that recommends excuses for quick escapes on bad blind dates, like "my dog ate my appetite."

Google Decider: determines the next course of action for anyone who happens to be stuck without a Magic Eight Ball.
