hi

once google did open its api towards the general public, there was in no time a google module. now it seems to stoped?

i would like to get this module started again with some new options

for example:
* egosurfing (display information about the registerd user)
* surf for the words in the node when one node is selected (with the risk of finding the node it self (GIR, GIR is recursive?
* have special "tags" [1] in the node automaticaly be links to google and display information about it in block
* have special "tags" [1] in the node automatically be links to froogle and display relevant products in block
* have special "tags" [1] in the node automaticaly be links to glosary and display information about it in block
* google for relevant keywords from the taxomonie (if enabled)
* display a google cached picture in block based on words in title of node (copyright?)

even more stupid features might include:
whoisgoogeling (do a whois lookup on the ip adress of the source, take the relevant fields out the whois database and google that)

i could go on and on about this module. i use google for basically everything i do and would like to have the power of google back to drupal in every possible way.

[1] not to sure on this one. i dont like the concept of creating new non-standard "tags" as "google://image&tittle" or so. is there some way to do this in a better way? any xml-magic-pixie-dust?

Some work has been done, by far not all the sugestions but http://drupal.org/node/view/6054 is a good starting point, closing this one. feel free to borrow ideas for new feature requests
