    Minimalistic Google

    Just check out how google main page is being managed, a nice fade in/out effect.

    What do you think about it?

    google.com

    I think it is very google. In a good sense. I think this is how they started and what brough them success. Search is what they do best. I love their other projects too, but I think they should keep things to the point.

    The fade in/out works nicely, but I don't really see the point of using such an effect on their main page other than style.

    I have to agree with ZukiH, users wanting more options may get frustrated if they have to wait for the links to appear.

    I personally don't see any value in having the fade-in. Google has done a great job keeping things simple and to-the-point. Their page is still refreshingly clean after many years. Adding that effect neither adds to or distracts from what they already have.

    i still think there is too little to start the fading out, but google always had minimalistic ideas so it not to flood the screen with a ton of info but still the fading had me confused until i found what it was.

    I dont like the updates about the images in google, i like the old style. I think it's takes more time to showing all the images you search...
    About the fade, ithin indepence of the connection speed.
    If you have a great connection you see very fast...
