Whoa, Google
Have you guys tried doing a google search recently? They COMPLETELY changed the results page around. They've never done a complete redesign like this before.

However now there's no Google Adwords on the side, so how are they making their money? There's a new sidebar on the left, but where are the famous ads? hah

It is a lot cleaner, but actually I think I like the old design better; it seemed more balanced. This one the right side is all open and blank if you have a larger sized resolution.

Yeah, scratch that, it's back to normal now. I wish I'd taken a screenshot.

I don't think it was a glitch, I think they were just testing a new design and didn't mean to go live with it yet or something.

but what you missed is that it broke in IE, the bottom links didn't work so you were stuck on page 1, worked fine in firefox. I feel bad though cause I kept bothering my friend who works at google to fix it.

Haha, I didn't notice that part. That version of the site was only live for a few minutes.

Doesn't look all that different to me. Looks like a nice, progressive transition.

doesn't look a whole lot different to me. But I guess that was probably the point. Baby steps
