Google Adds Front Page Content



The New York Times and most other major new outlets are talking about Google's addition of personalized news items, stock quotes, and weather to its home page. Personally, I was concerned that the company had lost its minimalist user interface, but actually, they did a decent job. Contrast it with Yahoo's rather overwhelming home page, and I think it demonstrates what how much more Google thinks about human interface design.
