Google Image Search goes back to original interface
Google Image search recently got a makeover which I blogged about here. However, a lot of people didn’t seem to like it as evident from the comments on the blog of Matt Cutts of Google who reported it first.
This new ”cleaner” Google Image Search emphasised the picture and not its domain name. Only when you moved your mouse over an image, were you shown additional information like the size of the image, the image dimensions, the format of the image and also the link to the source of the image.
I am sure Google also got a lot of requests asking to go back to the original design as a lot of people including me look at the source of the picture to decide whether the picture is from a known reliable source or a fake. One other important critieria for me is the size of the image which were hidden in the makeover design.
