Usable Google

mmayer.jpg Marissa Mayer, product manager at Google.com, gave much insight into the company's UI philosophy in a recent talk she gave at Stanford University, entitled "The How and Why of Google UI".

Ms. Mayer has in a previous interview stressed the distinction between "usefulness" and "usability" and made some interesting points about the personlization of ads.

It's nice to see Google representatives speaking so openly about their company and its policies. It would be even better if they started keeping blogs!

For now, Google-watchers must make do with scouring for news on webmaster world (where some Google workers post) and the Google weblog (run by an enthusiast).
