i doubt an idea you sent to google in in april/may was ripped off in 2 months. They probably were working on it already. I have enough friends at google that when I say "the product you are working on should have feature X" they smile knowingly at me, but say they can't talk about that. Many times it shows up later. the response you got, of “there’s some lively conversation internally at Google" is exactly the same thing. They have been talking about it already, but they cant tip their hat to tell you anymore.
