Compare that to, say, the behavior of Zotero when merging duplicates. This is basic stuff - Google is just being lazy (or parsimonious with resources.)<br /><br />The problem with gtalk could be solved without overshadowing email, or even with a pin. It doesn't have it. There are workarounds, but the point is that there shouldn't have to be. Google's competitors are getting this down - why can't Google?<br /><br />Essentially, a lot of 20%-itis.Lemmy C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-4049856619076990152012-03-27T15:35:40.837-07:002012-03-27T15:35:40.837-07:00You can always use gtalk offline or use the web ap...You can always use gtalk offline or use the web app. It's hidden because you do not want it to overshadow your email do you? But it does show you how the final contact will look like and allow you to delete info or rearrange them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-80843658755015300542012-03-27T11:51:39.130-07:002012-03-27T11:51:39.130-07:00Unfortunately, they've buried Google Scholar. ...Unfortunately, they've buried Google Scholar. You can't get to it either on the navigation bar nor on the "more" bar.<br /><br />Google has been waging a war of attrition on usability. I should start catalog them. Some things that bugged me: the way that the chat window is buried in the lower-left hand corner of Gmail, and you have to play whack-a-mole to get it out. The fact that when you merge contacts in Google Contacts, it doesn't let you select which information from the two records to keep. The fact that you can't manage membership in the "new" Google Groups interface. The way that Google Cloud Connect doesn't make it clear which version is overwriting which when there's a conflict.

Why? I've always had only +(myname), Mail, Calendar, Documents, Sites, Groups, and More. I've never even had a link to Search before and that has always seemed ridiculous to me to not have a link to Search when I'm checking my Gmail.<br /><br />So how is it that you have Maps, and News, and Search, and other goodies all show up in your nav bar? Or, why do I not have any of them?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949062008685655863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61518730198242968782012-03-27T02:18:35.720-07:002012-03-27T02:18:35.720-07:00Well, what's the point of doing this?
