Why did Google Change its Interface?

The navigation bar is now located in the top left-hand corner?

#1. I liked the previous location better - just above the search box.
The new location is inconvinient. You'd have to take your cursor all
the way to the top, then come back all the way to the middle of the
search box. The timing is inconvinient.

#2. Just to get a glance of the navigation bar, you'd have to roll
your eyes all the way to the top, then come back to the search box.

Each time the search transactions are being performed (that's billions
of search transactions per day), that's taking your and my time away.

 

Use another service and stop bitchin'.

 

Oh poor baby, why don't you get a real news reader, so you don't have to
complain about this

 

What "navigation bar"?

Take it up with Google. This isn't Google.

 

I agree. But what I miss the most is www.Froogle.com

I used it a lot just to see what things looked like, no more.

 

That link goes here http://www.google.com/products
Where did it used to go?

 

Humm that's a hard one .... www.Froogle.com

http://www.answers.com/topic/froogle it was just a nice layout, nobody
paid to be on top, and you got what you asked for.

 

Because it is THEIR service, THEIR resources, and THEIR money for which
you have paid NOTHING. Of course, you could become an advertiser there
and maybe that might give you some leverage but then your concerns would
be how to best get your spam in our face instead of how to define a
better UI for users.

it's going to get worse.

 

It's human nature to change that which works fine. It gives people a false
sense of purpose and a continuing paycheck.

To make more money and sell more ads/links/preferences?
It's like the internet/usenet community made them from
nothing at all, and now they're just another head on
Mammon, The Beast. LOL! Bend over and spread 'em!

Ohhhhhhhh, and that's not all...

Google has long tracked your histories ostensibly under the
guize of "customize user experience".

When I'm shopping for something, like price comparisons, I go
back and clear the TIFs and temp files [Window Washer] then
go back to my project, many times with quite varying results.

www.ask.com has come into play (simple, no frills interface,
easy to load homepage, etc.; but they're going the way of
the Googlemunster *very quickly*.

Hmmm, but I bought stock in Google at their IPO, so it
really doesn't stick in my craw that much. I told everybody
in October of 2001 to buy all the oil they could their hands
on as well. No one listens; no one cares... )-,,:

Yippie Kie Yay and have a nice day!

 

I found a way to get around google's new interface.
Set this as your homepage, or set this as your new bookmark to google.

They did it so you'd burn an extra calorie every time you used Google.
They're trying to help your fat ass.
