Google turns 10, and gives us a nice scrollable timeline
Google has turned 10, and we wanted to celebrate. Soon we will be a teenager :)
The site for the Tenth birthday has some nice features, including a scrolling time line of the history that is very Gooey indeed.
There are nice subtle elements to the component. If you scroll the bar you will see that the size of the blue area changes as the scope changes.
It’s fun to look back and see how bad the original logo was (no comment on the current one ;)













So that’s why the little guy on Google maps has balloons and a party hat! I’ve been wondering about that for a little while now.
I wonder if he’ll be dressed up for Halloween too - that’d be awesome! Man, I love that little guy.
It’s a really slick interface. I know it’s not terribly complex or anything, but it works really well.
wow….. neat
Thanks, good review!
