Left navigation bar of iGoogle

August 27th, 2009 admin No comments

Today,  new change of iGoogle was found.

I searched google’s help in order to find how can go back old tab style. No answer was found.

This change makes iGoogle displaying with more compact content, it is very difficult to browse now. And, there is a large margin left when scrolling down the page. It’s more like a personal web site, maybe like Laotudou.com. Hehe…………

Left nav bar takes more space and gives little information, make it a failure change according  to google adsense’s view.

Google did NOT consider user’s feeling, release such nasty style. It’s NOT google’s style. What happened in Google?

Maybe we should try to use MS’ bing, or other simple search engine, to avoid google imposing more garbage in our little screen in future.

Left navigation bar

These new features made it important to look more closely at how we help you find and use content on iGoogle.

The new left navigation shows you all your subject tabs (for Sports, News, Music, etc), neatly organized with the gadgets for each tab listed underneath. We think this new format makes it much easier to find specific gadgets (especially as your number of gadgets on your page grows) and quickly click them in and out of canvas view.

In addition, the chat feature is located on the left navigation bar, to give you easy, instant access to your friends.
