>>Actually Roberts right - all the social networking stuff I designed goes unused and I've learned a lot since then.
The sliders get lost because there is a lot of real estate given to the ads that populate the page (business decision). In lieu of sliders, if you used a Clock-like interface for timings, users may be more likely to use it. The response is amazingly fast. If the filters of narrowing results were laid out at the top horizontally, users would be more likely to use them. Also adding color to highlight some very valuable information on these pages would increase readability; e.g. Stops and Airlines results are important enough to validate different background colors. Also the Airports control is somewhere between between sliders. It could be a different color too so it stand out - but not very sure what purpose it serves. Great idea; but didn't work too well for me Toronto to Vancouver. Google ads are great but I find that in this case they drive the user to pages/sites in direct competition with the results I am looking at. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
