I'm sure this looked very pretty as a design, but the usability is poor.

I had a very similar feeling when I login to g+. It's loading and loading and loading but I don't get anything in the end. I started to think twice before I click a google link.
'Go Inside' for example, would dump in the middle of a gallery of images, making me think that I had missed the thumbnails at the beginning.
Complaining for the sake of complaining? When you hover over "Go Inside" it says "View all photos," so isn't that its exact intention? Plus what are you talking about "missed the thumbnails"?No.

I'm not sure I even realized what happens when you hover over it. I clicked it and it scrolled past a bunch of thumbnails, showed me a spinner for a while, and then showed me an image. It didn't give me the feeling that I was seeing the first image in the thumbnail list (Maybe it was, but giving proper context is important). To provide context, expand the image in place, or show a lightbox, or show the large image with some thumbnails so I still know that I'm looking at the first image.
None of the photos would load, only the first, the captions worked no problems tho, and would scroll through them all as they should.
No other browsers on iOS (that I have installed) work either. Pretty poor showing from a company that promotes openness and interoperability.
