New York Times Article Skimmer
H’s gchat status brought to my attention the New York Times Article Skimmer prototype. It’s supposed to give the experience of “reading the Sunday Times, spreading out the paper on a table.” Rather, it gives me a headache.
On widescreen monitors the article boxes are too wide. On any screens, “skimming” becomes “head-turning”. I would rather see articles in a list:
Normal Layout: Eyes scan each article from left to right, head moves down the page between articles
Article Skimmer: Head moves left to right as well as down. Uncomfortable.
