Howdy.
Google just changed their navigation technique. Go to http://google.com/ to check it out!
Tell us how you like it!
-
It seems like I don't have it yet, so I can't vote on it. :/
-
wait ... WHAT ?
Oh wait, I don't have it yet neither...
this ?
meh.... I more thing to get used to ... :P
-
Nope, not that. I'm taking about the google.com hover-your-mouse-over-the-google-logo nav.
-
Yes, that's what the video is showcasing. Personally, I think it's not the right move for Google. What they need is to combine that dropdown menu with the navigation bar they already have. Low profile + Accessibility + Easier Navigation.
-
Thats what i was thinking. and with making users hover over google logo, they are running the risk of having a Mad Meat Navigation.
-
I don't like it. i prefer it as a simple toobar on the top. I liked google even better when the navbar only showed up if you moved your mouse over it.

I dont remember that... Then again, i usually use startpage.com instead of google, so i may have missed something
-
We'll see how it goes, I guess.
-
Its Okay...

I kinda prefer how it is right now (since the past month or so at least) for me, although I am still kinda used to how it was around 2004. :P
-
I didnt know there was more to the internet than armor games and miniclip in 2004. lol. (I was 10)
-
It seems pretty cool, but not very practical. I'm not sure what this layout has over the older layout other then that it has icons (and takes up more space :P)
btw clicking "search" goes to the old design.
-
Looks the same to me.
-
Everythinng just looks the same to me. Hovering over the google logo just displays the alt text 'google'. Also, that grey bar is still at the top of the screen.
-
Yeah it seems like it's reverted to the way it was before. Basically it was like a drop-down menu with different icons inside of it.
(there was a google logo in the top-left corner)
-
This is the first major Google redesign that I don't particularly like. Sure, it leaves more screen space for the important stuff, but (1) the logo itself isn't responsive, and there's no sign it does anything until the menu loads; (2) accidentally hovering over the logo can now obstruct the sidebar for a moment; (3) the theme isn't quite in line with the sidebar color scheme Google introduced just weeks ago; and (3) the old navigation bar was already sufficiently contrasted and out of the way.
But what I really like (and what I'm really surprised nobody brought up around here) is the new Google graphing calculator (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=y+%3D+x+%5E+2). It's actually useful :D

google seems to have disabled it or something this afternoon. its back to the same it was before.
