A badly written book in the 50s.

Yes, it does look like Googles format, but do you really expect everything on the net to be original?

Because the simplier the design you have the better the design you have. Anything that's flashy on a page can and may drive someone away from your web site. Take a web designing class and you'll find out why.

Very true, Lupine. Long gone are the days of blinking text and having everything in scrolling marquees!

to me it looks like a proven winning formula. keeping it simple and clean is what the public likes. everyone and their mother uses this format. ask jeeves, altavista (not that i use them), etc....

Really...

It really is stupid of Yahoo! to try and copy Google's page format. It just looks a plain carbon copy, with only a few changes (like the Yahoo! image). I really didn't expect Yahoo! to do such a thing. I didn't know that they could go to such lows. Yahoo! is umm... er... the worst, and Google, oh... it is the best!
