Updates Updates Updates
An article by Josie S.
This week has been one dedicated to revamping the user interface of some of the most popular and prominent websites around. Of course, gaining the most buzz (pardon the pun) is Google+, Google’s answer to Facebook. With people clamoring to get in and actually purchasing invites that are supposed to be free, Google’s social network brings to it the simplicity and ease of use common to all Google products. Along with a brand new interface we were showered with updates from WordPress, Blogger and, while not an interface update per se, Facebook – announcing their new features including, video and group chat. Add to that the recent annoucement of Apple releasing Lion next week and it seems we’ve all of the sudden been ushered into a complete internet update. Considering how drastically we have changed the we use the internet on a daily basis it seems fitting that an overall update would be warranted. For fun, here are some pictures of websites from back in the day.
