Actually, a substantial part of Google’s translation engine is build on crowdsourcing, meaning translation already done by humans. That is how the Google machine learns and that is why it is such a powerful tool, learning from humans and getting more powerful / accurate all the time.

Bingo! IMO, Google should base its social strategy on helping people organize ALL their personal information – email, picture, purchase, bill, phone call, travel info, documents, medical records, financial records, etc. – in a single, easy to use, intuitive and USEFUL interface. Once people have all their information in one place (name the product Google Lifeline), provide the users with easy, intuitive, fine-tuned sharing mechanism. User’s should be able to decide easily exactly which pieces of information they want to share and with whom. Voila! All of a sudden, they have an extremely useful and well-integrated social network. On this social network, people won’t just go to poke each other or play games. They will go to manage their real lives and share information about their real lives with others.
