For the record Mahalo.com was designed by Jon Hicks who designed
Firefox's logo. He's a design God, and the design of the pages has
tested absurdly well in our user labs (we run 5-10 of them a week).

You can see a user lab here:

That being said, it is different than the stand Goolge layout and that
was by design.... could be wrong, but I think it's time for the layout
to evolve.

Feedback always welcome.... and Mahalo for it!
