I was just thinking today while wrestling with a Google presentation doc that the UI sucks, as does the UI of many Google products. Yesterday I was wrestling with the Picasa Uploader. However the totality of the UX is ok, since I really need to share the information and that part works ok. In fact it is surprising how much suckiness I will tolerate in that tradeoff. Sorry if this has nothing to do with Marissa Mayer. The only thing I know about her is that I keep hearing her name and seeing her picture, which is not unpleasant. Also, the original Google page was a miracle of minimalism in an era that gave us the Flash intro. If that was you Marissa, then thanks. Otherwise I owe another apology to someone.
