What makes a design “Googley”?

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Friday, May 16th, 2008 @ 11:09 am

Posted by Sue Factor, Writer, User
Experience Group

Late in 2007, our User Experience (UX) group—which does user
interface design, visual design, user research, web development,
and user interface writing—set out to
articulate the principles that ought to guide Google designs
worldwide. What are the fundamentals that all Google designers and
researchers accept? Which approaches to design are particularly
"Googley"? How can we encourage teams throughout Google
to dream big and make smart design decisions?

A small team gathered to discuss these questions and define the
Googley Design
Principles
:

1. Focus on people—their lives, their work, their
dreams.
2. Every millisecond counts.
3. Simplicity is powerful.
4. Engage beginners and attract experts.
5. Dare to innovate.
6. Design for the world.
7. Plan for today's and tomorrow's business.
8. Delight the eye without distracting the mind.
9. Be worthy of people's trust.
10. Add a human touch.

These UX principles flow naturally from the href="http://www.google.com/corporate/tenthings.html" id="kg-w"
>Ten
things Google has found to be true and the UX group's
stated mission: to design products that satisfy and delight our
users. We described the principles as "Our Aspirations"
for two reasons:

We have a lot of work to do when it comes to
implementation.

Every real-world product will have to strike a balance between
all ten principles.

Still, we don't want to waffle too much. These principles
represent the User Experience group's declaration of beliefs.
With "Satisfy and Delight" stitched on our leotards,
we're determined to get up on the tightrope and start juggling
principles. Please applaud or boo, as appropriate, so that we can
make the next act even better.

More organizing tools

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Monday, December 10th, 2007 @ 10:21 pm

Posted by Darren Delaye, User
Experience Designer

We collaborate using Google Docs
& Spreadsheets
so often at work that I now have more than
300 online documents. My project teams create shared documents and
spreadsheets for everything: taking notes in meetings, planning
product launches, analyzing usability studies, and much more. I
also share docs with friends at work to plan baseball outings, and
my fiancée and I are using a shared spreadsheet to help manage the
guest list for our upcoming wedding. In other words, I'm one of
many with a desperate need to organize all my online documents.
Thankfully, I got the chance to design a new interface for Google
Docs & Spreadsheets that includes folders and some convenient
ways to quickly manage and access all my documents (and if
you're like me, your own collection of online docs and
spreadsheets is growing daily).

Now when you sign in, you'll see a new interface that lets you
create personal folders for each of your projects, and drag your
online documents and spreadsheets into them. On the lefthand side,
you'll see a list of all the people you are collaborating with;
click on any name to see all the files you're working on with
them. To read more about this new interface, head over to the href="http://google-d-s.blogspot.com/2007/06/entirely-new-way-to-stay-organized.html" >
Docs & Spreadsheets blog.

The wedding planning continues — but at least all the docs I need
are now easier to find in a folder. Hope your own organizing is
easier now too.

What U.S. immigration policies mean to Google

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 @ 10:12 pm

Posted by Pablo Chavez, Policy
Counsel

Our experience with American immigration policy dates back to one
of our founders: when he was six, Sergey Brin's parents fled
the Soviet Union in 1979 and settled in the United States. Today,
there are literally hundreds of examples of immigrants and
non-immigrant foreign workers playing a vital role in our
company.

In particular, employees who are holders of H-1B visas — which
allow foreign-born workers with specialized skills to work in the
U.S. on a temporary basis — have helped lead the development of
Google News and orkut. Immigrants from countries like Canada, Iran,
and Switzerland now lead our business operations, global marketing,
global business development, and data infrastructure operations.
Without these talented employees and many others, Google would not
be where it is today.

As Congress grapples with various immigration reform proposals,
Laszlo Bock, our Vice President of People Operations, testified
today before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration about
the practical impact that the U.S. immigration system has on
Google. (Laszlo's mother Susan, who fled Communist Romania when
Laszlo was a child, was there too. She was welcomed by Rep. Zoe
Lofgren, the chair of the committee, and she received an ovation
from everyone present at the hearing.)

In his testimony, Laszlo said that, due to limits on the number of
H-1B visas, Google is regularly unable to pursue highly qualified
candidates. This year, an estimated 133,000 visa applications were
filed by H-1B candidates in the first two days of the filing period
for only 65,000 available spots. Over the last year alone, the
artificially low cap on H-1B visas has prevented more than 70
Google candidates from receiving H-1B visas. Therefore, Laszlo
said, "We would encourage Congress to significantly increase
the annual cap of 65,000 H-1B visas, to a figure more reflective of
the growth rate of our technology-driven economy." He also
urged Congress to address the backlog of employment-based green
cards for highly skilled workers.

opening remarks to the committee below.
