Recently, Google Japans homepage had some changes that might not seem too major to most, but these changes represent the first time Google has added graphical links directly to the homepage of any one of its country sites!

Google is now becoming a destination and not just a search engine, something that, until now, it has always stayed away from doing. This has always been Yahoo’s market. Googles new steps, to become more of an integrated destination, are a sneak peek into what the search giant will look like in 12-18 months time.

What does that mean to the rest of us?.. To be honest, who knows at the moment. Google is growing in so many ways, with so many different properties, that its impossible to tell what difference any one of these is going to make at the moment.

Stay tuned, i will post more thoughts on this as i see these changes roll out.
