- pdelgallego 14y agoI mean the spartan user interface approach the followed in the early 2000s in their core product. We give for granted now that applications should be clean, focus, etc, but for many years that was not the trend. To put it into perspective, its major rivals at the time (Yahoo, and MSN) followed the opposite path. Google had a huge impact on how web interfaces are done today. They also popularize ajax when they launched gmail but that its another story.
- ryanbrunner 14y agoIroncially, I can remember Yahoo being lauded very early on for the same thing (spartan user interface, insanely fast load times, etc.) back when it started. If anything, Google was a return back to spartan interfaces after the initial batch of search engines got too caught up in portal mania.
