infundibulum

The Google Web Accelerator caused incredibly un-web problems with web apps.

So, okay, Google finally screws something up.

But twice in a row?

This Google portal doohickey is utterly underwhelming, verging on utter lameness. The reason Google’s minimalist web design works is that their products have astonishing utility, almost without fail: search, maps, email, sets, etc., etc. But sticking a big My-Yahoo-circa-1999 box under the search field hardly qualifies as astonishingly useful.

It just strikes me as lame. Presumably they have more plans for it. (A feed reader that actually works, maybe?)

But whatever, Google is still going to eat the universe.
