Google is known for its software and applications that always look minimalistic but deliver better than the rivals. It holds true for its search engine and web browser Chrome. Therefore, when the Google team decided to do away with the Spartan white home page the experiment did not really click with the Google users. Yesterday a number of Google users were stunned to see their favorite white homepage was replaced with an image filled page which looked quite unfamiliar. Indeed, some ardent Google users felt as if they had landed in alien territory!
The Google homepage bore a resemblance to rival Bing that uses a custom image for page background. A number of users became quite irritated with the change and tried to find ways how they could remove it. The option was provided in the home page itself but many failed to see it since it was in really small fonts. The users who did not like it wrote in the twitter and Facebook posts and their anger were vented online and shared by many other users. Google could feel the thing was not going well so it was quick to revert to the classic white look. The Google team said it was owing to technical glitch though.
However, there were some users who actually like the image option. They can still avail it through iGoogle. The default images that Google provides for using as background are pretty and you can also use your own images. It is just an experiment that did not find favor with the users.
