Allow the creation of source filters to allow users to have preferred sources shown first. 

ie. User could create filter where when “info” is included in search, Wikipedia will be made first source.

So many lyrics sites are god-awful. I find SongMeanings to be the most reliable, as people making thoughtful comments are most likely to improve/correct lyrics. Whenever I type lyrics into my search, I’d like to have this source pop-up first.

Google Incognito – A tool which allows webpages to be view in a basic word format. The result would be that the webpage is translated into plain text and removes pictures, flashy links etc. The purpose would essentially serve as a way to browse the internet without onlookers knowing what website you are visiting.

An alternative use of Google Incognito would be that simplified web pages could be used on phones to lower the amount of data usage needed for viewing.

Idea for this blog on this Seth Godin blog post, in hopes of generating some good ideas and developing a process for creation and innovation.

- An add-on to the current Google Maps application, Google Tacks would allow users to save ‘tacks’ they have determined on the Google Maps interface. Would constitute an extension of the ‘saved maps’ function.

- Suggested routes can be provided for travelling from tack to tack, based on pedestrian or general street traffic.

- Essentially, would be used for unfamiliar regions (such as travelling) when stated venues want to be seen, but user is unsure which is the best route, and wants to be able to remember several locations on a single map.
