GoogleX

[jgpaiva]

As these days it looks like everything revolves around google, i decided to contribute too.
Here's GoogleX.
A google interface experiment, based on macOS's dock.

Apparently it didn't last much time (only about one day ), and was forgotten ever since (it's quite old, dates to March 19 2005). But still, i think it looks good, and you guys (and gals ) might not know about it.

nice, wonder why they got rid of it.. maybe just too hard to maintain..

They probably got rid of it because, while it kind of looks nice, it's a lot slower for the average user (who doesn't use search 100 times a day, thereby getting familiar with the icons). It actually takes a fair amount of time for people to memorize icons. Reading text is extremely quick for most people so text links are a natural. Plus they're lower on bandwidth which for Google, getting millions and millions of daily page views, could be a huge deal.
