Re:Tell HN: New Google homepage, A/B testing gone crazy. by yesimahuman on Friday May 07, 2010 @10:51AM (#1327730)
This fascinates me because I see google as something that basically every single person I know uses. They don't need any more convincing. Who does google need to convince anymore? I understand there's competition, but they are already good enough in the looks department to become a basic web-use instinct. Why change?

Seems to me they do it to continue innovating. A company who stops innovating is one who then can only grow through conservation and focusing on efficiency. Now whether or not they are spending time innovating in the right areas is a debate to be had, but my personal opinion is the new layout sucks. For Google, it feels bloated.
