Biz, Tech: Google stumbles with high-fashion wannabe Boutiques.com

  • Hey Google, just some advice: If you’re creating high-fashion anything, the design can’t look like a crappy hacked, brittle WordPress knock-off. This design sucks. Why would anyone shop here for clothes? It looks, um, sloppy. But then, so did the design of Like.com, which Google acquired a few months ago (and whose team designed this). The basic idea behind both Like.com and this (think using “visual search” to find the pair of shoes you like) is pretty good, but something simply doesn’t congeal here. Design is everything with this market. source
