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.

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

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

iGoogle users miss it entirely…

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

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

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

I do.

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

talk about “year of the clean up”.!!!

no horizontal nav either… which is just another word for spreading the debris field a little wider.
