What I really want to know is who the hell actually googles "gmail"? There's a link at the top of the homepage!
You'd be surprised at what some people do (on laptops and desktops). I've seen ones who refuse to type URLs in the address bar, with the sole exception of google.com, which they then use to type in the URL for the site they're looking for.
They don't even realize the search bar on the top right exists.
- ableal 13y agoQuite a few browsers do not have a "search bar on the top right". They use a single field for both URL and search.
- Shish2k 13y agoI know someone who uses the search bar in the top right to google for "google.com", which they then use to search for "yahoo", then having arrived at yahoo's front page, they search for "mail" to get to yahoo mail. Apparently typing "mail.yahoo.com" into the address bar (or just typing "mail" and having it auto-complete) is "too complicated"... (I presume that this sort of person is who the GNOME UI team think of when they talk about "average user"? :|)
- dubcanada 13y agoI've watched people go to the firefox homepage (which is Google) and google google, then click on a sponsored ad. I've also seen people go to bing and bing google go to google then google hotmail and then go to hotmail. I'm a bit at a lose for words...
