There was literally nothing to oversee. Even in this unadorned search homepage, she was able to keep an unused button (I'm feeling lucky) for more than a decade.
- ceejayoz 4y agoWe're just gonna ignore that Wiki also points out she was 1/3 of the initial AdWords team, are we? (I suspect keeping the Google homepage "unadorned" took a lot more effort than you'd imagine, too.)
- fencepost 4y agoI guarantee there was a lot of pressure to add crap to that page. "Just a couple of top news links!" "How about icons for people's most visited sites?" "Can we sneak in a 'promo' or two?"
- bluepizza 4y agoExcellent point. While I believe that whatever was on the front page was Larry and Sergey's ultimate decision, there definitely was some work to convince them to keep it this way.
