I rather write this as a “poem”.

Why Google? Why…

Why did you put an image on my your homepage?
Why a crappy one?
Why by default? Why didn’t you ask me?
Why can’t I get my your classic home back with just a click?

Why me you…

PS: WTF is going on?

Update 1: One of my colleagues points out that if I click in the “Google.com in English” link, here in Spain, I get the “classic one”. Hmmm, wait a sec… maybe this is just happening to spaniards… Nope, this is happening all over the globe .

Just an excerpt from Google’s support forum: 

Why is it always the same, a good company which gets caught up with it’s own self importance and ends up just like all the rest. Here I am Thursday morning and I have to wait for my Google home page to load in some awful image that I don’t want, and there is no option to have no image. Nobody asked me if I wanted this crap. What are you thinking Google? That your bright ideas must be loved by everyone just because YOU thought of it? Surely everyone is going to LOVE this because WE think it’s good. Well it isn’t and I agree with all those others that Google is over for me, gmail, search engine, mobile device, cloud computing forget it.

Update 2: at least they reacted quickly shutting down the so-called “experiment” 10 hours sooner than scheduled. Too bad they say a bug is responsible for the lack of information. Come on Marissa… a BUG in Google’s homepage! Would have been better to say “we royally screwed up” instead of admitting a bug.
