I know there’s always a lot of talk about Google on my website lately. It’s been mostly due to the fact that I’ve been extremely busy working on a few of my own sites, keeping up with Client sites and campaigns, and I have recently moved into our new home, which has really consumed a lot of my remaining free time. Needless to say, that leaves very little room to do both reading and writing about industry news. Luckily I’ve been able to keep up on my reading at least.
Below you can see what the new design looks like. It’s definitely taking on a similar look to Google’s recent enhancements to Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Calender. I believe all these changes are part of a “bigger picture” involving Google+ social networking system.
Will other Google services receive this same look? I sure hope so, some of them are in dire need of a facelift and this change adds a very modernized, yet simplified sleek look to Google’s web products.

It’s definitely more sexy than the old css-less look!
Definitely agree with you there. In general, all of Google’s recent facelifts are quite nice, and much needed (it’s like, Welcome to 2011 Google!”)
