Google created a ruckus last month by accidentally removing the Reader Link from the navigation bar on the top. Everyone wondered what exactly was Google up to by fiddling around with top navigation menu. Unofficial Google Operating System blog reported that Google is rolling out new Navigation bar publicly to many users.
New Google Navigational bar does away with the underlines under the links and adds a colored bar which apparently could work fine with a touchscreen device like tablet. At the right end would rest the Search Settings, iGoogle settings and Privacy options. Just before that would be a drop down option next to your email account to switch quickly for multiple sign-in between different Gmail accounts.
It is quite possible that those who ve been given the new navigational bar won t see it for all services but only for Google Web Search, Google Image Search, Google Maps and Gmail.
Google's statement: "Last week we tested a new top navigation bar, which increases consistency across most of Google’s properties and is a visual update over the previous top navigation bar. We are now rolling this new bar out widely."
MG Siegler at TechCrunch suggests that this could be related to the Google social toolbar it is supposed to be releasing, tentatively called Google+1. This seems like a reasonable assumption, based on previous reports.
