Subject: Re: Google and stupid background pictures
I don't think it could be summarized any better than that. Granted we aren't
the general public, but we are essentially the [type] of people that put
AltaVista and then Google on the map.
When I am looking for something, the last thing I want is distractions. It
should be simple, easy, and preferably quick. Adding noise to this occasion
could very well be an option for some, but it should not be a default for all.
I test and compare search engines about once a month. Visual noise and
irrelevant "related searches" are huge points that keep me from using Bing.
Plus, I IMNSHO, I still think that Google results are in a more relevant order.
That may change, which is why I occasional do comparison testing.

Search is all about speed. That's what made AltaVista awesome, and what
largely propelled Google to its current heights.
I have no time for scenery while I'm searching. Employing strategies that
undermine ones primary objective is useless.
Let's hope they make the "feature" optional.

Always odd to hear the very people who should be pushing for change
complain when they're presented. If no one thought to deploy or implement new
strategies things would stay the same. Hint this stale white background. Other
than the complacent minded, who wants that? Why not add some variety and
creativity to the search process? The beauty is having the ability to change
the background to one of your liking. The kewl thing is that 10 - 16 year old
kids who use Google more than Bing for searches are excited by the changes. So
I hope Google keeps this feature and continue to build on it. The rest of us
"old cranky" techheads should chill out.
