Well, while surfing I found this post about google apps UI (User Interface). Yes, maybe google apps such as Google Talk and Google Desktop Search don’t have beautiful UI but IMHO it is user friendly.
I can say that Google Desktop Search (GDS) didn’t have any window at all, all config/setting using browser interface. I love they way GDS can launch quick search but double tap ctrl key and it can give result instantaneously. It is just smart and beauty, I offen use that feature to launch my apps. I also have tried Windows Desktop Search but it is pain to open another window just to search few words. Windows Desktop Search (WDS) also like to force user to use windows component that is well know reduce system performance such as the indexing service.
Google Talk also another beauty, maybe it didn’t have so many function like Yahoo messenger or MSN Messenger but it didn’t BLOAT. YM have too many function and hug too much memory. Google Talk just simple, it meet the goal. You can talk to your friends, make call and send files, what else you need for IM. Function that I love the most in Google Talk are you can press tab to switch between multiple chat windows and the windows also can roll to title bar so it didn’t take much space.
Congratz Google, keep up good work. Oh, I also notice in this post, Larry Page, Google Co-Founder said “Our engineers all run Linux. It’s free. You can hack on it. It’s deep in our DNA”. Maybe that’s another reason Google apps UI weird
