  …and I don’t recall them doing anything similar for the Democratic version.

  I do.

  And they frequently advertise Google stuff down there. Adwords, Google Maps API, whatever.

  Seeing as how I use the built-in browser bar Google search, I never ever see that page.

  Glad to hear it, Anonymous.
  Like so many others, I rarely visit that page.

  I’m with Joe in using my browser’s built-in search box. I haven’t been to the Google homepage in ages.

  I have the custom Google homepage. I didn’t see that at all.

  iGoogle users miss it entirely…

  Maybe they don’t want us custom-Googled, iGoogled, Embedded browser barred folk to ask. They want regular web peeps.

  Regardless of the promotion, anyone notice how Google’s advertising is simple, understated and unobtrusive? TV could learn a lesson and ditch the 1/3rd screen snipes, animations and ridiculous graphics as could 99.999% of the web sites with awful animated gifs and Flash ads.
