I think we have come a full circle.
I remember a time when search engines, web based emails and other such things were so painfully slow and cluttered. Then there was this upstart with a funny name and single box to type in your search term. I switched because the air was fresh there.
There used to be a lot of noise about why don't they use that hot new eye candy, much like we have the same question asked about HN. Eventually they won.
On the lookout for the next plot of fresh air.
- Twirrim 8y agoI remember discussing with people about how significant some of Google's changes would be to their overall bandwidth and server needs. They used to periodically try tweak the design of their already fairly minimal landing page and shave several kilobytes off it. Back in those days even that small change would have been significant. These days they just don't seem to care any more.
