I used left hand navigation for a while but I disliked having navigation bar (which I never used) to the left of the main results. Before this I tried the alternate views experiment. The time line view is really cool, but sorta useless. (I would rather see a time line of popularity tied to pages and the dates when this occurred) Still haven't found a use for the info view.Looking back, I guess I would say most of these new features are pretty lame, in my opinion that is. Regardless, it is incredibly cool of Google to let use try out and use for ourselves innovative ideas which they are working on.

Something along the lines of: "The only one I've found useful was search suggest, and that's been in the toolbar for a long time"*hopes digg is full from my awesomeness and doesn't have to eat another comment*

I wonder how long before Google adds more customizations similar to what firefox users have with: customize google add-on <a class="user" href="http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/743">http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/743</a>
