Google Moan and Winge

It's a horrible collage of pictures that load slower than the sands of time. Not a fan personally.

Exactly, I can't wait for a google classic to show up. Or some other company knocking it of number one. They are kind of abusing their position to make people use chrome imo.

I loved google in the past many years, but they are starting to become a pain, taking over and ruining loads of sites ( I still think the old youtube was miles better and more user friendly, and what's with removing the option ''always load video's in high quality when available'' ?).
 
Anyone else got that gray bar across the bottom on youtube yet? Does nothing but pop up and annoy the user.

imo anyway.
 
I love google, totally integrated into my phone and it's all free.

What I can't stand however, is the human races inability to accept change. I work for an online bingo site, the slightest change brings uproar, even if you've simply fixed something that wasn't working correctly. Same with Facebook, it changes, every bitches straight away. Yet when the next changes comes, they all complain they loved it as it was. Go figure.

I am sure the people at google who get paid thousands of pounds a year do know what they are doing :)

That is because people do like to be messed around when it is not necessary. Google works brilliants... then they change it. That means me, as a user, now have to learn how to use, and get used to something which i honestly don't see the point in, and actually works less effectively as the old version.

I'm all up for change if the change is worth while and actually makes it better.

On the other hand i do understand your point. I don't think people like change simply because it is change...

However, replacing a perfect system with an annoying, lagging, messy system?

Have you tried Bing Images?

I tend to use that a lot more instead, as you simply type in the image search query and just scroll the infinite list. You don't need to click any 'Next Page' button, it's really quite impressive.

My only issue is with the excessive clicks required to view found image. However that is more down to websites complaining about their content being skipped just to get to an image.

Bing video used to be phenomenal too. You literally search for a video and hover the cursor over the video, the full video would seamlessly play with sound.

Again they had to change it due to complaints of website adverts being skipped so they were forced to only display preview clips when you hover over the results.

There are many issues like this which cause our beloved sites to change what was once a fantastic idea.

Reminds me of an appropriate maxim:
A camel is a horse designed by committee

Google must have a reason for change, perhaps it's to aid the introduction of another service?

tbh, I hadn't used it until just and I think it's great. Typed in 'corrado' and a whole wall of corrado images popped up. No lag, hover over for a larger view + info.

Very similar to a chrome plug-in I had that did this in a long banner of images.

We have tried it, and that's why we're complaining, because they've made Google images into that as well.

Edit: Although going and trying Bings again, it's actually better than Google image search is now. :/
