New home page for Gigablast

[takagi]

The home page of Gigablast [gigablast.com] was redesigned:

• slightly different logo
  
• Darker blue bar
  
• Text on button changed from 'search' to 'blast it'
  
• new motto: Information Acceleration. instead of Search the web from a different angle.
  
• no link to the Scandinavian version of Gigablast anymore
  
• link to the Gigaboost page is gone
  

Matt Wells didn't update the Rants & Raves [gigablast.com] page to describe this redesign.

BTW, the number of indexed pages is now really close to 0.25B

I like the new logo. Kind of futuristic, yet retro.

There's a new rant now.

Better than the old one!

also noticed a new feature:

cat .. dog: Use two periods to separate concepts. Like above, but no weight is given to the phrase cat dog.

All good stuff!

I've always rated Gigablast quite highly since being introduced to it through these pages and with a little exposure, believe it could do quite well.

Fingers crossed:)

'blast it'.

I like "Blast it". Hopefully this will stir up even more interest.

I like the SE just fine, and maybe it's just my rather tired eyes today, but I'm not seeing me become a fan of the new logo design.

On the other hand, I don't use any SE based on its logo, so it's no biggie if I don't like it better down the road.

You gotta root for the 'little guy' like this, don't ya? :) Results are pretty good on a quick glance...

Looks good. I like it much better than the old one.

What's the deal with the contact page though?
Not real professional.

Not real professional.

looks normal to me...in what sense do you say its not professional?
I think Matt should put a feedback form there, instead of the "cryptographical" writing, both will prevent the same thing. SPAM.

Rants and Raves page updated.

[nevetS]

just checked it out. Almost instant indexing, relevant results. I think I might have to give that search engine a test run for a while.

New design looks good logo is better than old one. Searching kinda slow right now could be due to all you searching it ;)

Gigablast just reached 250 million pages. And still counting.
