With millions of users, it's only natural that the company is prioritizing features and crowdsourcing new product ideas. In a recent blog post, the company has <a href="http://googleproductideas.blogspot.com/">revamped Google Product Ideas</a> as a series of separate feedback pages for <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=2016b">iGoogle</a>, <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=220cb">Google Docs</a>, <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=2191e">Google SketchUp</a>, <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=1b7e5">Google Ad Planner</a>, <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=21999">Google Custom Search</a> and as of today, <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=22493">Google Reader</a>.</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>The Google Reader Team is asking users to submit new features, <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/view/#bundle-creator-page">bundles (reading lists)</a> and custom links. From here submissions can be shared and users can move ideas up or down in a Digg-like voting mechanism. </p>

<p>ReadWriteWeb first wrote about <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_product_ideas_crowdsourcing_mobile.php">Google Product Ideas</a> in late 2008. At the time the site was focused on collecting mobile ideas. Today Google is offering users a chance to submit on a variety of products. Within each sub-site users can view the top voted suggestions, the most popular concepts, the newest submissions and the ideas that have been "answered" or acted upon. While <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#15/e=22493&t=22494&v=27">Google Reader's Answered Ideas</a> page is currently blank, it will be interesting to track what the team chooses to work on and why. </p>

<p>To submit your product ideas visit the <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#0">main Product Ideas page</a>. </p>]]>
