This is cool, would like to see google use it as standard
It is still minimalistic, but ... more fun :) -
Reminds me of the old Google-X that they played with a long time ago before Apple made them take it down.
-
Simple, but effective
-
I like it. Its google with a little design flair.
-
i play alot of starcraft, and so i know a little korean....
my response to this new page: "gg" -
Hate it. Useless kitsch.
-
How soon until we can choose this as one of our themes for our own personalized Google pages here in the states? :]
-
I like it . . how come our google can't look like that?
-
as long as the google front page never equals yahoo, google will remain king
-
Why do I feel like Kim Jong Il had something to do with this?
-
Yeah it's pretty snazzy for eye candy but as far as functionality nothing beats an iGoogle home page loaded with RSS feeds.
-
Umm, okay, it's cool I guess, but...
Why? -
That is not very user friendly... The bottom menu animations should just be stuck in the last frame, so we can actually see what it is.
-
THE WHEELS OF CHANGE ANGER ME
-
oh snap! the google page is going web 1.0!
-
YUP. def like there look, i dont really like the new bar we got uptop
-
Very cute, like it very much. When is it roll out to every country ? Worth waiting...
-
*laughs* doesn't properly render in Firefox. looks like they forgot some of the body tags. As founded... "it's simple because we didn't know HTML"
-
Well, I love it, GOOGLE, put it in all other google sites from different countries, will look even nicer without those weird symbols :l
-
Google pays homage to 1996 web design - next up will be page curls on search results.
-
It doesn't feel like a 90s design...
I mean, animated icons like these weren't that common... I think... -
I see alot of questionmarks about this idea :)
-
Isn't this just a copy of apple?
-
"it's a huge step back imho. It's 2007, not 1993. I can't believe Google falls into the mystery meat trap..." - Technically, its not 100% Mystery Meat because they've labelled the splodges. But uck! Tabs, the icons in plain view, anything but animated gizmos. Remind me not to use google next time I'm in Korea ;-)
-
Google, please make this page available in english.
-
sweet.
-
GOOGLE ON WHEELS
-
/me steals those animations for something
-
Looks good to me... Doesn't even take too far a step away from their "minimalist"
-
Just reminds me of the Simpson's episode when they got to Japan and Home checks out the dancing-water tolet. "They're years a head of us."
-
why is "I'm feeling lucky" in english?
-
I think Google just wants to follow the trend in Korean websites' designs.
If you've noticed almost all websites in Korea have animated images, flashing pictures and colorful sites...and yes Koreans like it.
So I guess, Google just wants to follow this trend. -
Let em do what they must, but I want MY GMAIL "MESSAGE FROM" HOVER BACK! used to you could pause over from sender and see real FROM address, it no longer works. it used to help me fight spam and spoofed mail domains. PLEASE GOOGLE bring it back!
-
I think it looks really good.
I think the .co.uk google homepage should look like that. -
Jesus folks, it's like 6 dots. I was expecting hamster dance from the uproar.
I think it looks nice and is still simplistic and minimal. Really dont care if it goes to the English side but I can certainly live with or without. -
At least their navigation links are above the search box like they are supposed to be. I wish they would put ours back there.
-
Koreans like the shiny stuff, check out their games and TV shows.
-
haha i kind of really like the page, they should allow it to be an option for everyone to use a page like this.
-
I think it's great!!!
And I can't wait to see what animated surprise easter egg page Google Korea will give us on Kim Jong Il's birthday!!
All hail Kim Jong Il.
*now break out into song...
"I'm so ronery, so ronery
So ronery and sadry arone
There's no one, just me onry
Sitting on my rittle throne
I work very hard
And make up great prans
But nobody listens no one understands
Seems like no one takes me seriousry
And so, I'm ronery
A bittle ronery
Poor rittle me" -
luxury..
-
Damnit. Now my Gmail webpage shows up in Korean text. When I type in Gmail.com it shows up Korean, when I search for Gmail it shows up Korean. ARAERRARARARARAGAGAGAGGAGGAG I'm freaking out.......... Man.
-
Looks sexy
-
I happen to like it!
-
It's funny to translate it using Google's own translator.
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.kr%2Fig%3Fsp%3Dkorea%26hl%3Dko&langpair=ko%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools
"Blow that" -
Here is an English copy of it, translation by worldlingo, with animations and some fixed translation such as blog search. You can search with it also. Enjoy!

All they need to do is strap on some Starcraft 2 images and they got them self a 99% market-share.
-
Nice sleek look...but Google will have its work cut out for them:
