The Google that never was: how the search giant killed a 2007 redesign | The Verge - http://www.theverge.com/2012...

While 2011's launch, dubbed "Strawman," was one of the biggest in the company's history, Google made similar efforts to redesign the company's entire stock of sites in 2007 with the Kanna project. An Icelandic term that means "to explore, to examine, to investigate," Kanna found the Google team building prototypes across four main clusters: fun, organization, daring, and minimalism (start at slide 5 below)." #редизайн - × × ×
