Of course there are reason why you could / should avoid using google, but one thing was really cool about it. Simplicity !
Since a few month, they started with that black menue at the top of the search-page (including a script for pulldown menue) and since one or two weeks the redesigned the news portal. I hate the new one. Before it was simple and WITHOUT scripts ! Now at first i felt lost on that page and the more anoying thing are the scripts. If you move your mouse over any headline, there pops up a google+-icon. why ?
Well google+ or not google+ but why has it to be a scripted thing. Instead, they simply could have made it with Tags. Thats not all of the rubbish they implemented. Google news, for me, is turning into a blinky blinky website.
What was wrong with the old style ?
Why not simply in two coloums like before ?
But not only that google+ thing anoys me. Now you can click through image galleries - a script - and the new "Editorial recommendations" on the right side - a script. Why ?
Perhaps it is only me, but i love simple websites, with clear structure and without scripts. A website can look cool, even without scripts. And thinking about barrier-free-webdesign ..... that could not be their serious opinion about that.
What do you think, are there related minds out there ?
If not, I'm feeling better now, sayin' it to the world
Kind regards,
