They should stop forcing G+ down our throats. Other than that I would love to see more new google logos. lol
google needs to put a spam button on the toolbar - its simple - any page the user sees as spam just click the button - when they have say 20 reports for one page then a rater can take a look at that page -this will get rid of all those spammy blogs with nonsense spinned content and anchor links to manipulate pagerank
I am waiting to see the effect of Google Panda. Till now, I've not seen any significant chances, that means still it is not fully implemented.
Spam button is good idea but could be abused especially among competitors and those who are bored in life. I see more and more personalized results that could affect overall rankings in the web.
Google will give more importance to social signal & Google Plus is now with Google to take more data from it. Google is also going to take more action against spammed links and am sure that after implementing it, there will be significant change in ranking in Google SERP for many keywords. So in overall the reputed & authority sites will get more good ranking during this year. Even high quality content will be given more weightage this year.
i've been looking into other search engine technology recently. google has a lot of room to expand, and not just in their search engine. i've seen calorie lookups, more intense mathematics, quite a few features that wouldn't hurt if google picked em up.
