If Google Made A Yahoo Like Start Page

Steve Bryant at Google Watch made a mock up of what he thinks a Google start page in the style of Yahoo would look like.

Why did he do this?

“I thought it’d be fun to create a Google start page that looked like Yahoo’s. So here it is, just a little fun what-if comp. I’m no designer, so don’t yell at me for substituting the wrong fonts and getting the kerning wrong, and blah blah blah.

And yeah, I know Google would never design something like this. But at the least, it gives you an idea of how Google really is a ‘portal,’ and how well all its apps fit together into a more work-oriented Yahoo start page.”

I actually like this. In fact I think I’d actually use it, no, I would use it if I could decide a few things. I’d want my blog reader, gmail, adsense stats, video, webmaster tools etc all on that interface plus usual search tools across the top.

I simply wouldn’t use Yahoo’s because they don’t offer me anything I use on a daily basis. In fact they don’t offer me anything I use on a regular basis.
Sorry Yahoo.
