Thank you, Google. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The Google Groups UI is somewhat
lacking when compared to the stellar examples of Web 2.0 usability that Google produces.
For example, GMail is so effective at representing email threads that I
now resent the MS Outlook’s lack of this feature. The new Google
Groups UI makes use of this UI model in representing threaded conversations.
Well done.
This new UI wraps one of the most commonly referenced set of news groups in the world.
When I ask developers what online resources they reference most often, Google Groups
is a frequent response. The wealth of information available behind this new
skin is incredible.
For a look at the new look, check out the Boise
Software Developers Group.
