Google Updates Its Face

whereiseljefe writes "About 12:00 am Central Time, at least when I saw it, Google changed it's face. Before it was a simplistic search engine, with a minimal front page, and now has become even more so. Those pretty tabs we have become accustomed to are now gone, and in the search results, the "summary" section at the top is now a faded blue bar (see here with a search returning ads). And the ads are a little more low key. Nice to know they are cutting back on their interface rather than adding spastically like Yahoo." Other folks noted that they've added Froogle and Local Directory pages have now been given links on the front page. Which is good, since inclusion in the main page tends to mean ready for prime time.

    This isn't true for Slashdot. Spelling mistakes and malformed HTML are common on front-page (main-page, same thing) thanks to the "editing" staff.

    What I like the most about google is that they keep a record of everything you have ever searched for, and will sell that record of millions of users for millions of dollars when they go bankcrupt.
