For Better or For Worse

"Change is inevitable, except from vending machines." --Unknown

I've often been accused of disliking change. This is simply not true. While I do whine a lot when some things change, it's not the change itself that bothers me. It is instead the direction of the change. Change for the better I embrace. Change for the worse just drives me crazy.

So when I opened my handy, useful, and convenient iGoogle page recently and found it had changed . . . for the worse . . . much worse . . . on steroids . . . I went a little ballistic. It's one thing to degrade a product. But Google has gone much further than that. They've downright destroyed the product as a useful tool.

Not only is the new side-tab format illogical, ugly and space-wasting, that's just the beginning. Trying to access any content, which now will reside inside the iGoogle page, is frustrating and limited. Instead of taking you to the full content, you instead open a scaled-down version of what you're seeking to use. To top matters off, it really freezes up on my iPhone, as well.

All is not lost, however . . . yet. You can still sign-in to other Nation's iGoogle pages (like this) where you will find the usable version you've been accustomed to. Google has promised to change those eventually also. For the worse.

Brilliant stuff.
