Where oh Where Is Thy User-Friendly 404, Google?
February 15, 2008
As I kick off my day this morning enjoying the beautiful weather down here in Florida and sippin' on my starbucks, I noticed something I found to be quite interesting with Google. They have no user-friendly custom 404 page!
Now I know Google is probably not a company that needs to be too concerned about having user-friendly custom 404 pages, but feel it would make sense for them to at least have a link on 404's going back to their home page. If I were tasked to create a 404 page for Google, I'd want to have links to a bunch of services such as GMail, Google AdWords, Webmaster Central, Blogger, Google News, Picasa, Google Analytics, Etc.
By having a user-friendly customized 404 page with links to a plethora of services, Google can potentially attract new customers who may not be aware services such as the aforementioned are even available.
Just my .05.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
