Google

First, Google had search. In 2004 or so they expanded into e-mail (anyone placed a bid for an invitation on Ebay?) and slowly expanded to apps, website hosting, acquired Blogger, acquired Picasa, launched Google Maps, put GPS capabilities into it, introduced Latitude, launched Google Wave recently at their developers' conference, and today, Google Voice. Each product is built to do one function (or tightly related functions), and it does so remarkably well. All of them tie pretty well together, leverage each other (e.g. get a voicemail on Google Voice and receive an e-mail with a web site link to the voicemail), most use single sign-on, have good mobile versions, etc. If Google keeps riding the innovation wave as it has, what wondrous things can we expect to see? What would you LIKE to see?
