I was shocked to find my little blog mentioned on the very popular Web 2.0 blog Techcrunch.com this week. It seems I was one of the first people to spot a new prototype Google layout. Thanks to Google Blogoscoped you can follow this simple steps to try out the new design for yourself.

• First click the following link: www.google.com/ncr
• Next copy and past the following javascript code into your browsers address bar and hit enter.
javascript:document.cookie=”PREF=ID=9d04e374b01fd77c:TM=1177187296:LM=1178229339:DV=AA:GM=1:IG=3:S=Iiqx5SsQA0p79zvy;path=/; domain=.google.com”
• Now try doing a Google search, you should have the new layout set in your cookies. If you would like to revert back the normal layout simple clear out your Google cookies.

I was doing some searches tonight and at first I thought I was on the wrong site. It seems Google is testing out a new results page and I was lucky enough to get a first hand peak at it. Hopefully it doesn’t disappear. This is one of the most drastic style changes that Google has ever made. It has a very YouTube inspired look. However, I’m not sure I can get use to all the white space on the left. Has anyone else seen this layout?
