Starting off the post with a shock, Google Search Engine market share might come down significantly! This is what Google itself predicts giving a higher value to Live Search.
And Google is trying to concentrate much more on its new kids, Google chrome and Android mobile phones which would be developed more in the coming year.

And back to the topic, here are a few predictions from the Google’s point of view -

• 10% market share to Google chrome, which is near 1% right now, but the popularity is not less already.
• Market share of Google search engine to go down due to rising popularity of Live Search.
• Google is planning to launch a mobile browser which will be there for all the mobile phones, including Android and non-android mobiles.
• The Q&A section in Google help forums would be a part of Google Apps.
• Some of the features that are available only to Google Chrome would be made available for all other browsers.
• Personalized search ads for users that are logged in.
• *** OneGoogle – A new interface that merges all Google applications so you can quickly switch between Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs without opening a new tab or losing your work.
• Google maps to go more quick indexing, with most recent custom maps, reviews and will include a tab for Google earth within.
• Marissa Mayer, and a few other high-profile Google employees are going to leave Google.
• Google contacts might become a separate application, with some advanced options to synchronize data.

So some good and some shocking changes are expected, by Google itself. Whatever, but still the monopoly of Google is not going to run long as i Expect, and it was not one of the most trusted companies in U.S. this time.

What do you expect from Google next year?
