Google Offerings Unification

Posted by on Dec 2, 2009 | No Comments

So what is up with this strange Google Unification on its home page? By unifying type stuff, to me it just feels like it is really trying to bring home the fact that Google does offer a heck of a lot more than merely search. And prior to this, you would be amazed at how many people were totally unaware of this fact.

To this end, I applaud Google for the long overdue changes. Not entirely clear as to what the holdup was, but better late than never. I still think there are some additional features that could be listed at the top, but it’s a good place to start. It’s not like it is overstating anything with icons or images, right? And if it did, would this even matter? I think sticking with the text is definitely classic Google.

So what do you think? Is Google in any danger of becoming more like Yahoo! with total information overload? Perhaps, instead, you feel it doesn’t really matter as you think Bing is better anyway? Hit the comments; let’s hear your thoughts on this.
