It's sort of a novel concept, but I agree that it looks like it was implemented only to add some sort of 'wow' effect. It's not needed at all. IMO, the problem with it is, is that it doesn't give you any frame of reference for the movement. For example, if you were looking at a large map, and clicking would center you on the map (as in Google maps), then that would be cohesive and not as confusing; however, just blindly shuttling the user to some seemingly-arbitrary location on your page seems a bit haphazard to say the least.
Also, it completely breaks navigation.. Did I go up? Down? Left? Right? Where is the previous content I was looking at, and how can I return there? If this *was* ported to jQuery, hopefully the history/remote plugin would be utilized so that navigation would remain. On 3/29/07, Josh Nathanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I agree, I found myself scrolling around looking for other content. I've seen flash implementations that were similar but you could see all the pages by scrolling horizontally.
