Play around with Google's cool new interface

Google is currently experimenting with its monolithic homepage to make is just that little bit more useful for the likes of you and I.

Not only does it look a little bit cooler with the "Chrome/Wave blue" it has begun to use elsewhere, but the search interface is more consistent. Users will be able to flip between different types of search result using the toolbar on the left of the screen (see above), which is especially useful for any kind of marketing research or cyber stalking. All results are delivered in a clean and consistent style.

To play around:
Visit Google.com (not .co.uk or any other regional site), log out of your Google account if you have one and paste the following into the address bar:

javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com");

The Jan Moir word cloud

A word cloud I created using a combination of Google Blogs RSS and Wordle (with inane words removed) to see which are the most used words to describe Daily Mail journalist Jan Moir after her much criticised article on Stephen Gately's death published on Friday. I'm actually surprised that the negative words aren't larger in size!

But then again there are a lot of different negative words instead, so the volume (?!) of negativity is still high!

If we did the same thing on Twitter, however... ;-)

P.s - Just removed Stephen Gately from it; I want this to be specifically focused on the 'loathsome' Jan Moir!
