Once google was famous for simple user interface.
It is still true in some part.
But now most of web pages getting sucks.
One of the big problems is it gets complex.
Since they have many many good programmers, they may want to add many many functions on pages.
But now it harms user interface.
Let's see the Google search first.
This main page is still good while other web searching engine has an complex page.
But the searching result page is wasting space at the end of the page.
When have they changed that? I though the famous link buttons, "Goooooooooogle" was at the end of the page. But now they added 3 lines with meaningless vertical gaps.
Gmail also get sucks.
Today I was surprised that the top most line becomes double lines in this way:
The problem came by the new red text, "New! A bunch of stuff."
Why is it not a single noun but several words?
I though once I click it, it will disappear, but it didn't.
Actually the other Google services tends to have a longer and complex top most line.
I don't know what is "My notebooks," I don't want to know it, I don't want to use it, and I don't want to keep it there. "Web history" is also same. I have never used it, and I have no interest for "History."
Why do they make user interface worse?
Google Reader is also sucks.
Most of Google services does not use "Frame" style, which is forbidden tag in HTML.
But Google reader has fixed frames.
If I scroll down the web page, then the top most links should go out of the screen. But it doesn't.
I hardly use "searching" in RSS reader. Why do I need to keep it there all the time.
Because of them, I cannot use my screen for reading articles.
I believe Google need more competitors.
"What is PAQ8???"
