Warning: serious eye pain ahead. Oh, go on, look then:
The people at Google Watch have wondered what Google's pristine front page would look like if it had the ants-on-tartrazine designers who seem to have been let loose on Yahoo!'s front page. (Yahoo long ago succumed to "portalitis" - an infection of the portals - which is, sadly, irreversible, though not necessarily fatal.
Here's what it would be like:
Yes, horrible isn't it? We're reminded of how Altavista turned from being a really useful search engine (back when the web was very young) into a vile portal which was only useful if one used its text-only version. The irony being, of course, that nowadays it's about as clean as Google.
Thanks to Google Watch for the mockup.
Now, bonus points for anyone who can point us to "If Yahoo looked like Google"..
